Update p. II — June 13
The Alameda County Registrar of Voters Office released its third primary results update on Monday, June 13. The major change in the third iteration is the Measure B race.

Measure B has leaped over the 55% Yes vote threshold needed to be approved. Currently, Yes votes account for 55.26% (8,553 people) of total votes, while No votes account for 44.74% (6,924 people) of total votes. If the percentages remain the same, the school bond measure will be approved, which will authorize the Alameda Unified School District to issue up to $298 million in bonds for infrastructure upgrades and retrofits, by levying a property tax increase of $45 for each $100,000 of assessed value of real property value.

In other races, Kaplan's lead in the Alameda County District 3 race widened. Kaplan now has 40.35% (14,518) of total votes counted to this point. Former Alameda councilmember Lena Tam is second with 29.01% (10,439) of votes. The two appear headed for a runoff for the seat in the General Election in November.

Pamela Price's lead in the District Attorney race also widened in the third update. The ROV reports Price, a Civil Rights attorney, currently has 41.64% (82,830) of total votes cast so far. Terry Wiley is second with 28.33% (56,353) of the vote. Price and Wiley will likely have a runoff for the District Attorney position in November.

Yesina Sanchez appears likely to take over from her current boss as the new Alameda County Sheriff/Coroner. She has surpassed the 50% of votes threshold. Sanchez has 52.05% (102,577) of total votes, while incumbent Gregory Ahern sits at 32.28% (63,614) of total votes.

Lastly, Alysse Castro widened her lead in the Alameda County Superintendent of Schools race. She has accumulated 51.95% (93,948) of the votes so far, while incumbent L.K Monroe has 48.05% (86,880) of votes. If Castro remains above 50% she will become the new county superintendent.

The ROV reported they have tabulated 225,679 total ballots, including 214,308 vote-by-mail ballots. The final vote will be certified at a future date.
