(Sacramento, CA) — A new California law signed by Governor Gavin Newsom will delay the certification of general election results. The law, which clarifies deadlines for fixing vote-by-mail ballots, sets December 3rd as the certification date for state results.

While election results will be available after polls close at 8:00 p.m. on Election Day, daily updates will continue until all ballots are counted. Final, certified results are expected by December 13th, meeting federal requirements.
