Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn was on track to win her third and final term March 5 as early results showed her capturing an early lead, taking about 61 percent of the vote against former Sheriff Alex Villanueva and Rancho Palos Verdes Mayor John Cruikshank.

A candidate that wins by more than 50 percent in a California primary wins the race. Los Angeles County had only counted 672,000 votes by 9:30 p.m. in the low-turnout primary election.
