Voting results take time! Please be patient as the Department of Elections does this very important work.

Tonight, the Department will release four preliminary results reports:

1. At approximately 8:45pm, a report consisting of results from vote-by-mail ballots received before Election Day.

2. At approximately 9:45pm, a report incorporating Election Day results from polling places that have reported as of that time.

3. At approximately 10:45pm, a report incorporating additional Election Day results from polling places that have reported as of that time.

4. As soon as all polling places have reported, a report incorporating Election Day results from all 514 City precincts.

All election results released on Election Night will be preliminary and will change in subsequent days as the Department counts several tens of thousands of ballots. These will include all valid provisional and vote-by-mail ballots received on Election Day, as well as all valid vote-by-mail ballots postmarked on or before Election Day and received within one week of Election Day. ✅

To see these preliminary results reports, visit sfelections.org/results
