Council contests

In District 2, Richard Thornbury led the reported count with 708 votes (38.15%), followed by Steve Lorey with 559 (30.12%), Daniel Hor with 426 (22.95%) and Tejpreet Singh with 163 (8.78%).

In District 4, Kashef Qaadri had 1,162 votes (58.36%) and Shivraj Singh had 829 (41.64%). Each council contest has its own electorate; the totals should not be added to the mayoral vote or compared as if every contest had the same ballot pool.

This is an incomplete mail-ballot count

The Alameda County Registrar of Voters labels the November 3, 2026, 8:49 p.m. Pacific release preliminary/unofficial, vote-by-mail results only. No vote-center precincts had reported in this snapshot. That does not mean no ballots were counted: the tables show processed mail ballots.

Percentages are shares of reported candidate votes, not estimates of the proportion of the final electorate counted. Later vote-center returns, additional mail ballots and verification may change totals and margins. These figures are a dated snapshot; consult the linked registrar’s page for later releases. This article does not project a winner or describe the tally as certified.
