Santa Barbara County supervisors certified the June 7 election results Tuesday, including the list of elected county officers.
The county had 39.8% voter turnout for the election, with about 95% of the ballots returned by mail or ballot drop box versus cast at a polling place, according to the Elections Office.
There were 93,726 ballots cast.
The certified final results have the same top vote-getters as the semi-official election night results released by the county, which included 49,288 ballots.
Voters elected:
» Fifth District Supervisor Steve Lavagnino
» Second District Supervisor Laura Capps
» Sheriff-Coroner Bill Brown
» District Attorney John Savrnoch
» County Superintendent of Schools Susan Salcido
» Clerk-Recorder-Assessor Joe Holland
» Auditor Controller Betsy Schaffer
» Treasurer-Tax Collector-Public Administrator Harry Hagen
» Superior Court Judge Stephen Foley
Most of the winners were incumbents, including Lavagnino, who has been on the Board of Supervisors since being elected in 2010, and Brown, Salcido, Holland, Schaffer and Hagan.
Savrnoch is assistant district attorney and ran unopposed to succeed current DA Joyce Dudley, who is retiring.
Foley has been a court commissioner since 2018 and ran unopposed for the open seat. Judge James Voysey decided not to run for re-election.
Capps ran unopposed for the open Second District seat, which is currently occupied by Gregg Hart. Hart decided to run for the State Assembly 37th District seat rather than another term on the county Board of Supervisors.
Capps serves on the Santa Barbara Unified School District Board of Trustees and previously ran unsuccessfully for the county’s First District supervisor seat against Das Williams, who currently represents the district.
In the June primary election, Santa Barbara County voters chose incumbent Salud Carbajal and Brad Allen as the two 24th Congressional District candidates who will advance to the November election.
For the Assembly 37th District, local voters chose Hart and Mike Stoker as the top two candidates, who will face off in the November election.
Tuesday was the last Board of Supervisors meeting where cities, school districts and special districts could request consolidation with the Nov. 8 general election, which includes local, state and federal offices and ballot measures.
Candidates have additional time to file, and the full schedule is on the county Elections Office website.
Local measures on the November ballot include:
» Solvang is asking voters to approve a 1% sales tax increase.
» Lompoc is asking voters to approve a 1% transient occupancy tax increase to fund fire and police services.
» Guadalupe is asking voters to approve a transient occupancy tax increase to 10% from 6%.
» Carpinteria is asking voters to approve a measure that would change zoning for specific parcels of city-owned property.
» Goleta is asking voters to approve a 1% sales tax increase.
» The Hope Elementary School District is asking voters to extend its Measure S parcel tax another five years without changing the rate.
» The Buellton Union School District is asking voters to authorize the issuance of $8.8 million in general obligation bonds.
