California Primary Election Results for Key 2026 Races Including Still-Undecided Match-Ups for Governor, LA Mayor
Ballot counting left several races unresolved as California’s top-two primary system sent early leaders toward November and kept some city contests open.
- On Tuesday, June 2, California's primary narrowed the field for November's general election, with the state's top-two system advancing only the highest vote-getters regardless of party affiliation.
- Florida Governor Ron DeSantis criticized the state's prolonged ballot-counting process on Thursday, calling it "pathetic." California permits ballots postmarked by Election Day to arrive up to seven days later, causing extended tallies.
- In the gubernatorial race, Republican Steve Hilton led with 27.6% and Democrat Xavier Becerra followed with 25.6% of counted votes. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass advanced in her mayoral bid with 35% support as counting continued.
- Voter-Approved Proposition 50 reshaped congressional districts to favor Democrats, creating competitive landscapes. Independent Representative Kevin Kiley remained ahead in California's 6th Congressional District as ballots continued being processed.
- Counties must certify results within 30 days, determining the official November lineup. As mail ballots arrive through seven days after Election Day, margins in close races may shift significantly before final certification.
