Key to Election Tables
* An asterisk (*) denotes an incumbent candidate; a dagger (**) denotes an appointed incumbent.
* A double dagger (***) 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--or those leading with 99% of precincts reporting--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) Democrat
(G) Green
(I) Independent
(L) Libertarian
(M) Reform
(N) Natural Law
(P) Peace and Freedom
(R) Republican
* Vote percentages may not add to 100% due to rounding. 0% means returns were unavailable 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.
* Write-in candidates and uncontested local races are not included in the tables.
