Updated results for county supervisor races in Sacramento, Yolo, Placer and El Dorado

It’s election night, with voters across the Sacramento region asked to fill supervisor positions in Sacramento, Yolo, Placer and El Dorado counties.

Here are the results as of 2 a.m. Wednesday, representing the final preliminary reports until this afternoon.

If no candidate earns a majority of the vote during the March primary, the top two vote-getters compete in a runoff during the November election.
