Pratt led Raman for second place on election night (June 2, 2026), but Raman passed him as late ballots were counted, and on June 9 outlets projected that she had won the second runoff spot. The certified first-round result was Bass 34.3%, Raman 29.0% and Pratt 25.5%; Pratt conceded, and the Los Angeles County Registrar certified the count with no official finding that it was improper.
