Counting votes takes time! Here is why:

Our 1^st Report posted at 8pm on Election Day is the results of all early voting.  Voting can be done before Election Day by returning your mailed ballot or in person in our Elections Office.  The reports posted on Election Day after the first report are the results of all in-person casted ballots.  This does not include vote-by-mail ballots that were turned in to polling places on Election Day, as the signature on each envelope are validated to the identification of the registered voter prior to processing (EC § 3019).  Click Here to read more about Facts about Mailed Ballots. 

Mailed ballots that are posted marked by Election Day can be received through seven days after the election (EC §3020).  After Election Day will be processing all valid vote-by-mail ballots daily until completed beginning two days after Election Day.  Updated result reports and unprocessed ballot counts will be posted each time ballots are tallied after Election Day.  Mailed ballots that have been received on time but require signature confirmation can be counted through two days before certification. It is our original intention to certify early and as soon as possible. However, State legislators have imposed delay requirements on early certification for the past two elections (Nov 2024 General (AB-3184), and Nov 2025 Special Election (SB 280)). These bills mandate elections officials shall not certify the results prior to the 28th calendar day following the election, unless there are no pending mailed ballot signature issues. If there are no outstanding mailed ballot signature issues, we will certify as soon as possible.

Ballots with pending signature issues: Ballots received by mail on or before Election Day that were either not signed or the signatures did not match are “Challenged” and set aside. These voters are mailed a form explaining that their ballot cannot be counted until the voter signs and returns the form so we may confirm their signature with our system. If they return their form, we may then accept their ballot and add it to the tallied results.
