These counts are unofficial and will keep changing as the county counts the rest of the mail-in and provisional ballots.
The green numbers show each candidate's gain in the latest daily count.
How we estimate the remaining mayoral votes
This is mostly about how many more ballots Torrance still has to return. Torrance turns out at a higher rate than Los Angeles County during its mayoral elections, so we scale the county's projected final count down to Torrance, then subtract the mayoral votes counted so far. It is our estimate from past elections, not an official count, and it updates with each daily county count.
