grid of voting icons — (Los Angeles Times)

On election day these pages will show results from in-person voting as well as any mail-in ballots already received.

Every registered voter in the state receives a ballot by mail. California’s polls close at 8 p.m. on Nov. 5, and mailed ballots need to be postmarked on or before that day. The vote counts on these pages update periodically as results are reported by the Associated Press and county registrars.

The Associated Press surveys the numbers posted by local election officials. The AP projects the winner using vote returns and other data. A race may be called before all expected votes are in. Results can change as more ballots are counted.

We'll be updating these pages until the California secretary of state certifies results on Dec. 13.

US House to vote to provide $3 billion to remove Chinese telecoms equipment
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. House of Representatives is set to vote next week on an annual defense bill that includes just over $3 billion for U.S. telecom companies to remove equipment made by Chinese telecoms firms Huawei and ZTE from American wireless networks to address security risks. The 1,800-page text was released late Saturday and includes other provisions aimed at China, including requiring a report on Chinese efforts to evade U.S. national security regulations and an intelligence assessment of the current status of China's biotechnology capabilities. The Federal Communications Commission has said removing the insecure equipment is estimated to cost $4.98 billion but Congress previously only approved $1.9 billion for the "rip and replace" program.
