Although we know the results of this week's presidential election, many local races across the country have yet to be called. For those who are covering the results, here are a few quick reminders:

• Don't capitalize congressional, but you should capitalize congressional districts and use numerals: "She represents the 2nd Congressional District."
• City council and city hall are capitalized if you're referring to a specific body or location: "The Los Angeles City Council passed the resolution." Use one word for councilmember.
• Use a period when abbreviating ballot propositions: "Here's everything you need to know about Prop. 10."
