Geographic scope and significance

The tracker identifies 5,944 selections from Nevada County and 384 from Placer County for this contest, totaling 6,328. The PUD manages local utility services, not Truckee’s municipal council. Candidate percentages are shares of selections in a vote-for-two race, not percentages of individual voters. The result remains uncertified.

When the count was reported

Snapshot: November 4, 12:46 a.m. Pacific. The source presents an election-night count, not an independently confirmed update dated November 5. Nevada County reports new official county results on Tuesdays and Fridays at 4:30 p.m., with the next scheduled for November 6. Additional accepted ballots and certification can alter the figures.
