General Election Notes
How many ballots are left to be counted?
As of Friday afternoon, there are an estimated 135,000 early ballots and 83,000 provisional ballots statewide that are yet to be processed and counted. A rough county-by-county breakdown follows:
- Maricopa: 109,000 – early; 55,000 – provisional
- Pima: 5,000 – early; 13,000 – provisional
- Pinal: 5,000 – early; 3,000 – provisional
- Yuma: 4,200 – early; 1,800 – provisional
- Yavapai: 3,650 – early; 2,000 – provisional
- Coconino: 2,900 – early; 2,750 – provisional
- Mohave: 2,800 – early; 1,700 – provisional
- Gila: 2,400 – early; 700 – provisional
- La Paz: 174 – early; 218 – provisional
- Apache: 0 – early; 1,071 – provisional
- Cochise: 0 – early; 1,061 – provisional
- Navajo: 0 – early; 671 – provisional
- Graham: 0 – early; 25 – provisional
- Greenlee: 0 – early; 6 – provisional
- Santa Cruz: 0 – early; 1 – provisional
OK, so when will we have final, unofficial vote totals?
State law gives the counties ten calendar days to verify and process the remaining early and provisional ballots. That gives them until the end of Friday, Nov. 12. A state canvass to certify official election results for federal, statewide and legislative races is scheduled for Nov. 29.
What about voters who cast a “conditional provisional” ballot?
These individuals had insufficient identification when they went to vote at a polling place. They have five business days, or until the end of Tuesday, Nov. 9, to return to their county elections office with proper ID (ie. an Arizona driver’s license, etc.).
