July 21, 2026 Primary Election Results

As of Wednesday, July 22nd, unofficial Primary results are in. These results will remain unofficial until August 6th, when the Secretary of State compiles the official Statements of Votes Cast from every county, which the county Boards of Supervisors will certify by August 3rd. Once the results are compiled, the Governor’s certification will make the election results official.

In the meantime, most of the votes cast have been counted, though there will be some small fluctuations until July 26th as voters are contacted to cure their ballots if there were issues. For most races, the number of votes needing cured are less than the margin of victory and therefore unlikely to change the outcome of the election.

So Who Won?

The July 21, 2026 Election consisted of Partisan Primaries and Nonpartisan Races.

For the Partisan Primaries, the victors from each Party will now go on to face each other in the General Election. In the event that a race is uncontested (meaning that there are not more candidates than open seats), it is possible that County Boards of Supervisors may call the race and appoint the unopposed candidates without the race appearing on the ballot in November. This is an effort to save room on the ballot, as the 2024 ballots were multiple pages for every county.

For the Nonpartisan Races, if candidates received enough votes to win outright, their victory will be declared and they will take office after the General Election. If there are some seats where no candidates received the minimum number of votes needed to win, then those races will go to a Run-Off in November.
