Where do I get election results? How long does it take to count the ballots?

At 8:00 pm on Election Day, the polls close. All the ballots from the polling places are taken to the Registrar of Voters Office where they are counted by computer. Ballot counting continues until all the ballots received at the polls are tallied (this sometimes takes all night). The Registrar of Voters posts the first set of unofficial results on their website at 8:05 pm on Election Day, with several additional posts throughout that evening.  Results are then posted daily at 5:00 pm until finalized and certified by the Registrar of Voters.
