Fourth Post-Election Night Ballot Count Update for the 2025 Statewide Special Election
LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk (RR/CC) Dean C. Logan announced the fourth post-Election Night ballot count update for the November 4, 2025 Statewide Special Election.
The update includes 218,854 ballots processed since the third post-Election Night update. This update includes ballots returned to the United States Postal Service (USPS), Ballot Drop Box, and cast at Vote Centers on Election Day.
The total election results count is now 2,584,888, which is 44.23% of registered voters. Election results can be viewed on LAVOTE.GOV.
The next ballot count update will be on Wednesday, November 12. The full schedule of ballot counting updates is available on the Canvass Update Schedule.
A large number of Vote by Mail ballots were returned on Election Day. The RR/CC continues to prioritize the timely processing of these ballots to establish a clear number of outstanding ballots in this election.
The estimate of outstanding ballots to be processed is 34,000. See the categories below:
- Vote by Mail ballots: 20,000
- Conditional Voter Registration ballots: 13,000
- Provisional ballots: 1,000
The estimate includes Vote by Mail ballots returned to the USPS and ballots returned in a Ballot Drop Box or Vote Center on Election Day.
The number of outstanding Vote by Mail ballots may increase as the RR/CC continues to accept ballots postmarked by Election Day and received through Wednesday, November 12 (E+8).
Elections Code section 3020 allows for Vote by Mail ballots to be accepted, processed, and counted if they are postmarked by Election Day and received within seven (7) days of Election Day. In this election, the seventh day falls on a holiday (Veterans Day), the deadline carries over to the next business day, pursuant to Elections Code section 15. These ballots are not included in the estimate.
Outstanding estimates are Countywide and are not currently available by jurisdiction as ballots are received and processed in batches throughout the county. The RR/CC will continue to process, verify, and count all outstanding ballots in the Official Election Canvass.
The Official Election Canvass is a 30-day period in which the RR/CC processes and verifies all outstanding ballots to ensure that every eligible ballot cast by Election Day is counted.
