Los Angeles County Registrar‑Recorder/County Clerk Dean C. Logan announced the ninth post‑Election Night update for the Nov. 3, 2026, general election; the county added 12,880 ballots processed and counted, bringing the total to 3,132,612 ballots and a 53.02% voter turnout.

The RR/CC estimates about 44,000 outstanding ballots remain to be processed and counted; that estimate breaks down to 18,000 Vote by Mail ballots, 21,000 Conditional Voter Registration ballots and 5,000 provisional ballots. The next county update is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 10, at 4 p.m.; the full schedule is posted in the canvass update schedule.

The county said the estimated Vote by Mail ballots include those received from the United States Postal Service, ballots returned at official ballot drop boxes and Vote Centers on Election Day, and Los Angeles County ballots received from neighboring counties; the figures are subject to change as additional ballots are received, scanned, prepared and processed. The estimate does not include additional eligible Vote by Mail ballots that may arrive after the estimate is prepared, including ballots postmarked by Election Day and received within the statutory deadline, Tuesday, Nov. 10 (E+7).

Election results will continue to change during the official canvass as outstanding eligible ballots are verified and counted; the RR/CC said the canvass includes reconciliation, auditing and the steps necessary to certify the election. Ballot processing operations remain open to media and public observation; media and observers should enter through the public entrance, check in with RR/CC staff and follow direction to designated observation areas.
