Election results are rolling in across California; vote counting could go on for days or weeks.

Thousands of AP correspondents periodically report the results from election centers across the country, and the resulting tabulated data are disseminated to member organizations. All other results are gathered by Hearst Newspapers from local election departments. Except for certain state and local races, which are called by newsroom editors, race winners and electoral votes are called by AP state and Washington bureaus. For races tabulated by AP, the expected vote percentage (EVP) is based on a variety of factors, such as turnout in recent elections and details on early voting. Read more about how the AP reports results and calls races, including how the "expected vote percentage" is calculated. We mark candidates as having a lead once AP has tabulated at least 35% of the expected vote. Candidates must also lead by at least two percentage points before we mark them as such.
