The Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk [RR/CC] has released updated election results everyday since the March 5 election.
“The update includes 116,493 ballots processed since the fifth Post-Election Night update. The total election results count is now 1,518,040, which is 26.72% of registered voters,” according to the RR/CC on Tuesday.
The estimated number of outstanding ballots to be processed, as of Tuesday, was 126,000 – that includes 119,000 vote by mail ballots, 6,500 conditional voter registration and 500 provisional ballots.
“This adjusted estimate includes vote by mail ballots received today and the estimated number of ballots returned at vote centers and official ballot drop boxes on Election Day. The estimate also includes ballots pending signature cures from voters whose signatures on the return envelope were missing or did not match their registration records. These voters have been notified and instructed on how to cure their ballots to be counted,” according to an RR/CC statement.
The official election canvass is a 30-day period with results being updated on March 14, 15, 18, 19, 22, 26 and final release on March 29. The results are updated between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. and can be found at www.lavote.net. California Secretary of State will certify the results on April 12.
