The Washington County Elections Department is working to finalize the results from Tuesday’s election. Washington County Elections Director Melanie Ostrander says the Canvass Board will be sworn-in at 9 a.m. Friday morning. They will then review some 222 ballots that either contain overvotes, are ripped or torn, or won’t scan. As for overvotes, Ostrander says the board will have to determine the voters intent. Because of the sensitivity of the machines, Ostrander says a small pen mark, or what they call a ‘hesitation mark’ can cause the ballot to be read as an overvote. If it is determined that the voter did vote for more candidates than asked, their vote in that specific race will not be counted. That work is expected to last into the afternoon. Vote totals will then be updated, but still won’t be official. Ostrander says they still have provisional ballots to deal with beginning Monday. Ostrander says they are also awaiting 7 outstanding military ballots that are due in by Tuesday at 5 p.m. For a list of all results Click Here
