  • Advisory:  The voter turnout percentage for the Democratic Party’s Presidential Preference Contest is not correctly reflected on the County’s Final Certified Election Results report. On the report, in this contest only, the number of voters casting a ballot is divided by the total number of all registered voters in the county (1,017,699) instead of being divided just by the number of voters in the Democratic Party (410,175).  Likewise, the registration numbers and turnout percentages on the Statement of Votes Cast reports for the Democratic Party’s Presidential Preference Contest are also effected. Use the  Registration Summary of Qualified Voters [pdf] to determine the correct number of registered Democratic voters in each reporting district. Please call our office at (909) 387-8300 if you need additional assistance.
