FINAL CALIFORNIA ELECTION RETURNS

Key to Election Tables

* An asterisk (*) denotes an incumbent candidate; a dagger (**) denotes an appointed incumbent.

* A double dagger (***) indicates a race where a runoff election will be held between the top two candidates if no one receives more than half of the vote.

* Elected candidates and approved measures--or those leading with 99% of precincts reporting--are in bold type. Runoff elections may be required in nonpartisan races where no candidate receives over 50% of the vote. Results are not official and could be affected by absentee ballots.

* For primary races, candidates are grouped by party; for other races, party affiliation is indicated in parentheses:

(A) American Independent

(D) Democrat

(G) Green

(I) Independent

(N) Natural Law

(P) Peace and Freedom

(M) Reform

(R) Republican

* 0% indicates returns were unavailable at edition time or only absentee ballots had been counted.

* District locations are identified by county. In Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego and Ventura counties, they are identified by community.

* Uncontested local offices are not included in the tables.
