What this local count covers

This candidate election is separate from the district bond measure and from Inglewood municipal races. A yes or no vote on school borrowing does not translate into support for either school board candidate.

The count remains unofficial

These are preliminary returns from the November 3 general election, not certified results. Later reporting can change the totals and ranking. This report does not estimate the number of uncounted ballots in the trustee area or project how they will be divided. The figures describe the named contest, not turnout for the entire community.
