In accordance with California Elections Code § 1001(e), a statewide election was held in Sonoma County on November 5, 2024. Elections Code §§ 15372-15375 provide that the elections official (County Clerk/Registrar of Voters) shall canvass the returns, certify the election results, and submit the certified results to the relevant governing bodies for adoption within 30 days of the election and to the Secretary of State's Office within 31 days of the election. EC §15400 further states that each governing body shall in turn declare the results of every election under its jurisdiction.
The County Clerk officially certified the results on December 3, 2024, and the certification is now being submitted to the Board for adoption as provided by law. The Board shall, pursuant to Elections Code § 15400, declare the results of each office under its jurisdiction.
