LOS ANGELES COUNTY — November 6, 2026, 4:37:22 p.m. Pacific. In the Palmdale Water District Division 2 director election, Yvette L. Gonzalez leads Christina M. Fraga-Saenz by 553 votes. This is the county’s official-source preliminary tally, not a certified election result.

Reported candidates and votes

Yvette L. Gonzalez: 2,588 selections (55.98%)
Christina M. Fraga-Saenz: 2,035 selections (44.02%)

Only the registered voters eligible in the named district or division vote in this contest. The count is not a citywide referendum.

What the local board controls

Palmdale Water District’s Division 2 director helps oversee water supply planning and infrastructure. This is not the same electorate or office as Palmdale City Council District 2 or the citywide Measure DE.

Public water boards oversee utility finances, infrastructure, supply planning, maintenance and regulatory compliance within their legal mandate. A candidate’s preliminary lead is not evidence that any particular rate increase, supply project, or contract has been approved by this election.

When to expect a final result

The Los Angeles County Registrar’s results report is timestamped Friday, November 6, 4:37:22 p.m. Election officials continue the official canvass, including eligible mail and provisional ballots. Residents should check the next bulletin before treating these totals as final; the county must complete certification later.
