Ballot are being counted across California and elections results are rolling in.
From the California governor's race to the Los Angeles mayoral contest, ABC7 has live election results for the key races that matter to you.
Jude Mayer says she wasn't thrilled about voting for a billionaire for governor. But she believes Democrat Tom Steyer "is talking about the environment in the way that I want to hear about it."
The 24-year-old says climate change is an imminent threat to her home state in particular.
"I don't want to be under water in 10 years," Mayer said Tuesday after voting in Los Angeles.
San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan has arrived via Caltrain for his downtown watch party ahead of polls closing for tonight's gubernatorial primary.
California District 22 candidate Dr. Jasmeet Bains has canceled her election night event due to the ongoing hostage situation in Downtown Bakersfield.
In a statement, she says:
"I am in active communication with local law enforcement. Members of the public should continue to avoid downtown Bakersfield at this time. My thoughts are with all of the families impacted by this concerning situation. I remain thankful to the emergency personnel who risk their own well-being for the safety of our community. First responders run toward danger to keep our community safe. Thank you to these brave men and women. Out of an abundance of caution, and to avoid creating a large gathering of people in close proximity to this incident, we will no longer hold an in-person event in downtown."

Here's when L.A. County is expected to release the vote counts on Election Day and beyond.
Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk Dean Logan said the first election results will be released at 8:15 p.m. Tuesday.
This first wave of results will represent vote-by-mail ballots that have been returned through the mail, even Tuesday's mail, Logan said.
These results will also include ballots returned to drop boxes through Monday and mail ballots that were dropped off at vote centers through Sunday.
"The first results that will come out at 8:15 will be a very healthy representative sample of the entire county," Logan said.
Shortly after that, Logan said more results will be added from votes that were cast at vote centers during the 10 days prior to Election Day - the early in-person voting period.
Ballots will continue to come in from individual vote centers through Tuesday night, and as these are processed, more results will be released, Logan said. The updates will likely come in 35-40 minute cycles throughout the night, he said.
After Election Day as ballot processing continues, more results will be released on a daily basis starting Wednesday, through the weekend and into next week, he said.
