Earlier dated reporting

CAMBRIA, SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY — November 4, 2026. Coast Unified School District’s Trustee Area 2 has an eleven-vote margin in the county’s early-November-4 count.

Preliminary vote

Susan Dever has 273 votes (51.0%) and Mark Ober has 262 votes (49.0%) in the preliminary result.

What the numbers mean

Coast Unified serves coastal communities including Cambria. Trustee-area boundaries determine who was eligible to vote in this contest. The result is not a direct communitywide vote by every Cambria resident, and an eleven-vote lead should not be declared final.

Source and reporting cutoff

The San Luis Obispo County Clerk-Recorder published its fourth unofficial results report on November 4, 2026; the linked results compilation is stamped 1:55 a.m. Pacific on November 4. Further vote-by-mail and other eligible ballots may be added. Reporting a leading candidate or a ballot-measure majority does not constitute official certification.
