California Certifies Its Election Results by December 11

By News Unc · November 4, 2026 · the Nov 4, 2026 edition

California's county election officials have until Thursday, December 3, to certify their results, and the Secretary of State certifies the statewide Statement of Vote and issues certificates of election on Friday, December 11, according to the Secretary of State. Results will keep changing until then as counties count mail and provisional ballots, so close races and ballot measures may not be decided for weeks.
