March 5th State Primary Election (Irvine Results)
Now that the results of the March 5th state primary election have come into focus, Irvine will be expanding the City Council to seven members and transitioning to district elections come November; State Senator Dave Min (D-Irvine) survived an onslaught of negative mailers and ads to become his party’s nominee for Congress; and current Representative Katie Porter (D-Irvine) will soon be out of a job.
As of March 14th, the Orange County Registrar of Voters has counted 670,614 ballots countywide, with an estimated 18,795 still to be counted.
Measure D on the Irvine ballot has been approved by voters, 60% to 40%. That means the Irvine City Council will be expanded from five to seven seats, with six Councilmembers elected from geographic districts across Irvine plus the Mayor, who will be elected citywide as the seventh member of the Council.
