"With early voting well underway, more than 125,000 Santa Clara County voters about 11% of more than 1 million registered have cast ballots in the county assessor runoff. The runoff features the top two finishers from November's special election, neither of whom secured a majority: Neysa Fligor, Los Altos vice mayor and current assistant assessor, who received the most votes; and Rishi Kumar, a Saratoga-based mechanical engineer, tech executive, and former city councilmember."
"The centers are opening on a staggered schedule. The first 19 locations opened Dec. 20 and will remain open daily through Election Day, including Christmas Day. Beginning Dec. 27, an additional 19 four-day vote centers will open, bringing the total to at least 38 locations. Most vote centers are open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily during the early voting period, though library locations in Gilroy, Milpitas and Saratoga operate from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m."
More than 125,000 Santa Clara County voters — about 11% of over one million registered — have cast ballots in the county assessor runoff between Neysa Fligor and Rishi Kumar. The special election followed longtime Assessor Larry Stone's July resignation, ahead of his term ending in December 2026; Greg Monteverde is serving as interim assessor. The assessor's office oversees an $8 billion public enterprise and values more than 500,000 properties in the county, with property taxes funding schools, roads, police, fire and other county programs. Dozens of vote centers will operate on a staggered schedule through Dec. 30, with extended hours on Election Day.
