Election Results

Unofficial election results are available on election night, beginning at 8pm. At 8pm, counties will begin posting the election results from all of the early ballots that have been cast and tabulated thus far. Then, counties will post results from voting locations throughout the evening, as they come in. Election results are UNOFFICIAL until the county board of supervisors officially approve the final results in a public meeting, referred to as the canvass of the election. Once the counties canvass, the Secretary of State holds the official canvass of results for federal, state and legislative results. The date for the statewide canvass of the general election is November 25th. Counties have until November 21st to canvass the county results.

Why aren’t final results available on Election Night?

There are several processes involved in the tabulation of ballots and post election day activities that must be completed prior to canvassing the results of the election.

1. Early ballots can be returned by voters up until 7pm on Election Day. The county must verify the identity of the early voter before the ballot can be tabulated, since the voter did not show ID to the poll worker like in person voters do. Instead, the signature of the early ballot affidavit form is reviewed by trained staff to confirm a match to the voter’s signature on file. This takes time and cannot be completed on election night for any ballots dropped off on election day. If a county questions the validity of a signature, they reach out to the voter and the voter has until November 10th to cure their signature.

2. Federal law allows voters the right to cast a provisional ballot on Election Day. A provisional ballot is essentially a fail safe for a voter whose eligibility to vote cannot be verified at the polls. A provisional ballot is cast and sent back to the county to verify if the voter was in fact eligible to vote. If the voter does not have proper ID at the polls, they can cast a conditional provisional ballot and have until November 10th to provide sufficient ID to the county. The county has until November 15th to finish processing provisional ballots.

3. Counties must perform post election day activities to verify the accuracy of the results prior to canvassing. This includes sample hand counts conducted by the political parties, post logic and accuracy testing of the tabulation machines, and auditing of chain of custody forms and logs, as well as more processes.

All of the post election day activities are in place to ensure the security, accuracy, and integrity of the election. While unofficial election night results might show an early indication of the outcome of the election, it’s important to remember ballots will still be counted, leads could change, and the final results are not official until canvassed by the county. Every single eligible ballot that is cast will be tabulated.
