U.S. municipal elections, 2018

Santa Clara County, California, held primary elections for county board of supervisors, county assessor, county sheriff, district attorney, and superior court judges on June 5, 2018. Because no candidate received a majority of votes in the primary elections for sheriff and the District 4 seat on the board of supervisors, the top two vote-getters advanced to a general election that was held on November 6, 2018. The other races were decided outright in the primary. The filing deadline was March 9, 2018.[1]

General elections for Santa Clara County Board of Education seats, Gavilan Joint Community College District trustees, West Valley-Mission Community College District trustees, San Jose-Evergreen Community College District trustees, Santa Clara Valley Water District seats, Santa Clara Valley Open Space Authority seats, and Silver Creek Valley Country Club Geologic Hazard Abatement District seats were also on the ballot on November 6, 2018. The filing deadline for those elections was August 10, 2018.[2][3]
