 Registrar of Voters Continues to Receive, Count Ballots
The Registrar of Voters is working hard to ensure every San Bernardino County vote is counted!
The official canvassing period began on Nov. 4 and election results may change throughout the canvass period as vote-by-mail ballots, provisional ballots, and other ballots are processed. This includes counting all mail ballots postmarked by Nov. 3 and received by
Nov. 20.
At close of day Monday, November 9, there were 210,000 mail ballots remaining to be processed. There are also several thousand provisional ballots and some ballots that are damaged, need to be remade, or require further review. An update of Unofficial Election Results is posted every day at 4 p.m. on the Election Results webpage, and a posting schedule of remaining ballots can be found on our Results Schedule webpage.
County elections officials must report their final results to the Secretary of State for the Presidential contest on or before Dec. 1. The Secretary of State will certify the results on December 11, 2020. The Electoral College will convene on December 14, 2020.

COVID-19 Dashboard Now Features Geographic Focus
San Bernardino County officials, in partnership with Esri, have enhanced the County’s COVID-19 dashboard with the notable addition of a new page focusing on the locations where the disease is spreading. (Esri is the Redlands-based supplier of geographic information system software, web GIS and geodatabase management applications that developed the County’s COVID-19 dashboard, as well as those elsewhere around the world.)
The new tab on the dashboard page is marked “Locations,” and it provides geographic-specific information on infections and testing. Visitors to the page and tab can now easily grasp where infection outbreaks are occurring, and the tool enables county health officials to focus resources and communications where the need is greatest.
“We have learned that effectively combating COVID-19 and allowing our County to reopen requires a more detailed understanding of where infections are arising,” said County Public Health Director Corwin Porter. “This new tool greatly enhances our ability to pinpoint hotspots and respond quickly to isolate those who have been infected. It also tells us where we should consider concentrating resources such as testing sites.”
The new page features maps with neighborhoods color-coded to align with the State’s purple-to-yellow tier framework, along with data on cases, testing, deaths and other measures presented on a community-by-community basis.
