Body of News Release
Marin County, CA – The Marin County Elections Department announced Thursday that it tabulated 69,573 ballots. The tabulated ballots represent roughly 40% of registered voters in the county.
Registrar of Voters Natalie Adona said her team has approximately 62,770 ballots left to count.
“Election Day was smooth and orderly, with no major issues reported,” said Adona. “Thanks to Marin County voters for voting.”
The Elections team will update the results again on:
- November 9
- November 11
- November 13
- November 17
- November 20
- November 25
By law, the earliest date that the Election Department may certify and report final election results to the Secretary of State is Friday, December 11.
Voters whose ballots were challenged due to mismatched or missing signatures have until 5 PM on Wednesday, November 25, to address the issue and still have their ballots counted. Forms for this purpose are being mailed to all affected voters, and can also be found at MarinVotes.org.
According to the Election Department’s Election Monitoring Dashboard, 7,098 voters cast ballots in person on Election Day at one of the county’s 21 vote centers. Another 4,415 voters either mailed in their ballot or placed it in one of the county’s 19 drop box locations.
As of Thursday afternoon, a total of 104,524 voters cast ballots in person or through vote-by-mail during the voting period from October 5 through Election Day, November 3.
The Elections team has received over 93,300 vote-by-mail ballots so far. Ballots postmarked on or before Election Day can still be counted if received by the department up through Tuesday, November 10.
Processing mailed ballots requires several verification steps prior to counting: staff must verify that each voter has not voted more than once in the election and that each signature on the envelope compares with the signature on file. Only then can the election worker remove the ballot from the envelope and prepare it for tabulation.
