加利福尼亚州投票站关闭进入计票，州长与14项提案同日表决
加利福尼亚州选民11月3日走进投票站，决定州长、副州长、州务卿、州主计长、州财政部长、州检察长、州保险专员、州教育总监等州级职位，以及14项全州提案的命运。全州投票站于晚8时（太平洋时间）关闭，计票随即开始，美联社当晚尚未宣布州长之争的赢家。州长之争由民主党人哈维尔·贝塞拉对阵共和党人史蒂夫·希尔顿，州教育总监之争由索尼娅·肖对阵理查德·巴雷拉。
提案中最受关注的包括第39号提案，要求选民现场投票时出示政府签发的身份证件、邮寄选票信封上填写所选身份证件的后四位数字，选举官员在计票前核对该号码与选民登记记录；无党派的立法分析办公室估计，该要求每年将给州和地方政府增加数千万至数亿美元不等的成本。按州法，各县须在12月3日前认证结果，州务卿于12月11日最终确认。

California Polls Close and Counting Begins, With Governor and 14 Propositions Decided the Same Day
California voters went to the polls on November 3 to decide the governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, controller, treasurer, attorney general, insurance commissioner, superintendent of public instruction and other state offices, as well as 14 statewide propositions. Polls closed at 8 p.m. Pacific and counting began, with the Associated Press not yet calling the governor's race that night. The governor's race pitted Democrat Xavier Becerra against Republican Steve Hilton, and the superintendent's race pitted Sonia Shaw against Richard Barrera.
The most closely watched measures included Proposition 39, which would require voters to show a government-issued ID when voting in person and to write the last four digits of the chosen ID number on mail-ballot envelopes, with election officials checking the number against voter registration records before counting; the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst's Office estimated the requirement would add tens of millions to hundreds of millions of dollars a year in costs for state and local governments. Under state law, counties must certify results by December 3 and the secretary of state gives final confirmation on December 11.
