These are early, unofficial returns from NBC Bay Area's Santa Clara County results page. Totals were cross-checked against ABC7's results page, which matched or ran slightly ahead in its later updates.

ABC7 lists both as top three elected, with Sylvester at 18% (5,283) and Tang at 19% (4,223). It identifies the second race as Cupertino's.

All results are unofficial election-night and early-morning counts as of Wednesday, Nov. 4. Counties keep counting mail and provisional ballots for days, and certification comes later, so margins can shift, especially in close contests.
