Election Results Explained
NOTE: Some of the remaining outstanding ballots may be eligible for the “signature cure” process. Before we certify an election, we must make sure every eligible vote is counted. For mail ballot envelopes returned with a missing or non-matching signature, voters are mailed a letter and given the opportunity to verify and provide their signature so their ballot can be counted. Once “cured” the ballot can be removed from the envelope and processed into the count. Voters have until Sept. 27 to cure these situations.
SUMMARY:
- The first set of unofficial election night results will appear shortly after 8 p.m., Sept. 19. They will include mail ballots received before noon on Election Day.
