Voter turnout wasn’t so low after all in the March 5 election.

In the other races, voters chose Tyron Hampton, Rick Cole, Justin Jones, Gene Masuda, and Steve Madison to represent them in the respective districts.

A total of 1,641,715 ballots were processed and counted with 28.90% of eligible voters casting ballots in Los Angeles County.
