Colfax Council: Lomen, Divine and Keyes Lead Three-Seat Vote

COLFAX, Placer County — November 4, 2026. Colfax voters selected from three named candidates for three City Council seats, with Sean Lomen receiving the highest reported candidate total.

Candidate counts

Sean Lomen: 279; Mike Divine: 256; Tim Keyes: 244; qualifying and nonqualifying write-ins are also listed in the county report.

Why these results matter

This is a three-seat at-large council election, not a mayoral vote. Having three named candidates for three positions does not mean every voter selected each candidate; residents also could leave choices blank or write in names. Precinct reporting is complete for election night, but certification remains pending.

Counting status

The source is the Placer County Elections election-night semi-official report, printed at 12:16 a.m. Pacific on November 4, 2026. All assigned election-night precincts are shown as reported, but further eligible ballots may be processed before the county certifies its returns. These figures should not be presented as a new November 5 count, and a reported leading candidate has not necessarily won the final election.
