ABC7 lists Palo Alto as top three elected and Los Altos Hills as top two. It identifies the District 2 race as Los Altos City Council.

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.
