The results from yesterday's Claremont Unified School District election are in. As we indicated,turnout was fairly low, and the two winning candidates, Hilary LaConte and Elizabeth Bingham finished one and two, respectively. LaConte and Bingham were separated by only 230 votes, and Barbara Miller was a distant third by 959 votes.

Here are the final figures from the L.A. County Registrar of Voters:

2. Elizabeth Bingham - 2,319 votes, 37.24%
3. Barbara Miller - 1,360 votes, 21.84%

The final numbers will change a bit after the provisional ballots are counted. The turnout figures aren't on the county website, but the Daily Bulletin has an election blog with the turnout figures for Claremont, Diamond Bar, and Pomona posted by Will Bigham.

Claremont's turnout stood at 15.8% with 3,695 ballots cast out of a total of 23,409 registered voters, according to Bigham's post.
