Livermore City Council, parks board incumbents take early leads

Incumbent Ben Barrientos appears on track to retain his District 2 seat on the Livermore City Council, with early election night results putting him about 1,400 votes ahead of challenger Narayan Tadimeti.

As of 12:30 a.m. Nov. 4, Barrientos had received 69.36% (2,671) of the vote while Tadimeti, a physician, stood at 30.64% (1,180). The winner will represent northeast Livermore through December 2030 on the four-person dais. 

District 2 was the only contested council race on the Nov. 3 ballot.

Voter turnout in the county was at about 31% as of early Wednesday morning, with 306,475 ballots cast, according to the Alameda County Registrar of Voters. That number is expected to rise significantly as in-person votes and mail-in ballots are tallied in the coming days.
