Fairfield District 1: Patrice Williams Leads Nora Dizon by Only 13 Votes

FAIRFIELD, Solano County — November 5, 2026. The Fairfield City Council District 1 race has a 13-vote gap in the latest accessible report: K. Patrice Williams 2,544, Nora Dizon 2,531. With 5,075 valid candidate selections in the source, Williams has about 50.13% and Dizon about 49.87%. No winner is officially certified.

What voters were deciding

The contest elects a representative for one council district, not a mayor for the whole city. The number of ballots outstanding specifically within District 1 has not been established from countywide data, so a mathematical prediction would be unsupported. City council decisions involve municipal budgets, streets, development and local services.

Other elections in Fairfield

The city’s District 3 race is separate: Robert Marin leads Doug Carr 1,957 to 1,751 with Susan Bush at 774. Our updated District 3 story documents the later count. Citywide Measures P and Q also use different valid-vote totals.

Why the numbers can still change

The November 4, 2026, 7:40 p.m. Pacific count shown by KQED’s Solano County election report is a dated unofficial snapshot. County authorities continue the legal canvass, including valid vote-by-mail ballots, provisional selections and required reviews. The number of votes outstanding in a specific city contest is not the same as all unprocessed ballots countywide. Precinct reporting percentages also do not prove every lawful ballot has been counted.

Where to check the next result

The Solano County Registrar of Voters publishes the official results. County elections are not certified by a news outlet or by an early candidate statement. Statewide certification follows on December 11, 2026. This article preserves the source timestamp so later tallies can be accurately compared.
