Important Notice
Understanding Election Results and Write-In Votes
The State Board of Elections Shares Important Voter Education for Understanding Election Results and Write-In Votes.
In a general election, a voter can cast a write-in vote for a candidate whose name does not appear on the ballot. To vote for a write-in candidate, a voter would fill in the oval to the left of the “write-in” line for their chosen contest and write the candidate’s first and last name on the line next to the filled-in oval. This can also be done using a ballot marking device.
Initially, votes for write-in candidates are reported differently than votes for a candidate who formally appears on the ballot. Each local board of elections will report all write-in votes as one total regardless of the number of write-in candidates or who the write-in vote was cast for because the tabulator scanner will not identify the writing of candidate’s name; only the filled in oval for write-in. During the 10-day canvassing period after the election, each local board of elections will manually review all write-in ballots and tally the votes cast. Before a local board of elections certifies election results, the number of write-in votes cast for each certified official write-in candidate will be reported........
