§ 10264 Election Results Recording

This law says that once an election result is announced, the city’s elections official must write down a detailed record of the vote totals.

Key Takeaways

  • •The election official must record the total number of votes cast in the city.
  • •The record must list every candidate’s name and the office they were running for.
  • •It must also show how many votes each candidate (and each measure) got in each precinct and the overall city totals.

Example

After a mayoral election, the city clerk writes a report that lists how many people voted, the names of all candidates, which offices they ran for, and how many votes each candidate got in every neighborhood.

The clerk follows the law by putting the total city vote count, each candidate’s name, the office they were running for, and a neighborhood‑by‑neighborhood tally of votes into the official record.
