Results

After the close of polls at 8 p.m., the election results are combined and posted to the State Election Reporting System. State law prohibits the release of polling place results until all absentee ballots for that precinct have been counted and combined with polling place totals. Results reported on election night are unofficial and may be adjusted in the days following Election Day, prior to the canvassing board meeting.
