LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CA — It's here. Election Day 2018 and it's a big day in communities across, not only Los Angeles County, but California and the nation. Will the so-called Democratic "blue wave" play out as some predicted in this mid-term election, or will the red hold strong?

Patch is here to help you follow the races that matter to you, starting with the local elections happening in Los Angeles County. A total of 5,280,658 voters are registered in the county, and Tuesday night we will learn how those who headed to the polls have spoken.

And now that polls are officially closed here in California, results will be rolling in throughout the night. (Scroll down for our live-updating table of results below.) Across the state, a record number of voters were expected to cast a ballot.

"It is nearly unprecedented for California to set a voter registration record in a midterm election,” Secretary of State Alex Padilla said. "Over 19.6 million Californians are registered to vote—an all-time high. It has been nearly 70 years since we’ve seen a higher percentage of eligible citizens registered to vote for a midterm election."

A whopping 43.45 percent, or approximately 8.6 million, of those registered to vote in California are Democrats, while 24.04 percent, or 4.7 million are Republicans. Another 27.52 are listed as No Party Preference.

Here in Los Angeles County, the major party-split is 50.08 percent Democrat and 17.04 percent Republican.
