California Proposition Results: See How Every County Voted

Well, it’s over … almost.

The presidential election has been called. So too have some of California’s local and statewide contests. But millions of ballots are still being processed and counted – with mail-in ballots being accepted through Nov. 12, as long as they were postmarked by Election Day (Nov. 5).

These 10 maps show up-to-date statewide tallies with results for every California proposition, and how people in each county voted — on everything from school bonds to involuntary servitude. The data, from the California Secretary of State website, is updated regularly as additional votes are tallied and reported by county registrars.

• Proposition 36

Proposition 36, a measure toughening criminal penalties for some nonviolent crimes, was one of the clear, early winners. Called by the Associated Press just before 9 p.m. on election night, the measure accomplished the rare feat of winning the support of a majority of voters in all 58 of California’s politically diverse counties.

The measure reverses key parts of a decade-old voter initiative that reduced penalties for drug possession and low-level thefts, and in so doing, diverted thousands of people from prison.

The groundswell of support for Proposition 36 – a clear backlash against the state’s more progressive-leaning criminal justice policies – underscores the degree of concern among residents across the state over real or perceived rising crime rates, particularly those related to retail theft and the ongoing fentanyl crisis.
