Trump scores a decisive victory over Harris, completing an extraordinary political comeback. Follow live coverage and results of the 2024 election.
County races
Janet Nguyen and Frances Marquez face off in a bid to represent District 1 on the Board of Supervisors, the only county election this year. Andrew Do, who is unable to run for reelection due to term limits, resigned last month ahead of federal conspiracy charges.
City races
Elections in Orange County’s 34 cities will determine mayors, city council seats and local measures. Dana Point and Mission Viejo have city propositions to address short-term rentals while a “yes†on Santa Ana’s Measure CC would enact renter protections. Also on the ballot in Santa Ana is a city charter amendment that would allow, by the November 2028 general municipal election, non-citizen city residents to vote in all city municipal elections. The city of Orange, in addition to elections for a mayor, treasurer, city clerk, three City Council seats and a vote on a proposed sales tax, has a measure that would allow fireworks in areas that aren’t at high risk for fires.
School districts
Results for school district board races across Orange County, including those for community colleges, are in. Also on ballots are 10 school district bond measures. On most of the measures, a “yes†vote authorizes millions in bonds to fund repairs, upgrades to school facilities and career-readiness programs.
Water districts
Twelve races for irrigation and water district board members will be decided by voters in Orange County.
Other races
Sanitary districts in Costa Mesa, Midway City and Sunset Beach are on the ballot.
