Overview:

Vote counting continues across San Bernardino County following the November 3, 2026, general election. Results reported as of 5 p.m. Wednesday, November 4, show leading candidates in mayoral, City Council, town council, city clerk and treasurer races across the county. Several candidates have surpassed the required 50% plus one vote threshold, while other contests remain competitive, with no candidate yet securing a majority. In races where voters can select multiple candidates, the top vote-getters determine the winners. Results remain preliminary as additional ballots are counted.

Votes are still being counted across California. The following list is a status of races for local mayors, city councilmembers, city clerks, treasurers, etc. in San Bernardino County as of 5:00pm, Wednesday, November 4. 

Winners in a general election must receive more than half of the votes cast. In other words, 50% plus one of the total votes cast except in races where voters are asked to vote for more than one candidate. Those races are identified below. In these instances, the two highest vote totals determine the winners.   

Top vote getters in each race and their percentage of the votes are also listed in races where all candidates are below 50% plus one vote.
