Electronic ballots must be requested by 5:00 p.m. on Election Day, and if a voter is faxing them back, that must be done by 8:00 p.m. on Election Day.
All ballots being mailed in must be postmarked by June 11. On that day, ballot counting can officially begin.
Before a mailed-in ballot is scanned, it must first be reviewed by an Absentee Ballot Review Board, made up of a bipartisan group of voters. According to Montemayor, “They started reviewing absentee ballots on May 27th, and so they’ve been working hard to get things reviewed and prepared so that we can start scanning ballots.”Within an hour, DOE plans to release an initial first count. “Then, on June 15th, we’re going to release another set of results,” Montemayor continued.
The review and counting process is expected to take longer than in traditional elections, due to the sheer volume of mail-in votes being processed. “We have, already, around 110,000 ballots that have been returned to us.”Copyright 2022 KTVF. All rights reserved.
