Key to Election Tables
-- An asterisk (*) denotes an incumbent candidate; a double asterisk (**) denotes an appointed incumbent.
-- A triple asterisk (***) indicates a race in a district shared by two or more counties. For that reason, individual tables do not reflect the total vote.
-- Elected candidates and approved measures are in bold type. Results are not official and could be affected by absentee ballots.
-- Party affiliation is indicated in parentheses: (A) American Independent (D) Democratic (G) Green (I) Independent (L) Libertarian (P) Peace and Freedom (R) Republican
-- District locations are identified by county. In Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego and Ventura counties, they are identified by community.
-- Uncontested races are not included in the tables.
-- Special district races for San Diego county and school and special district races for Riverside and San Bernardino counties are not included in the tables.
