LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — With the official canvass of the March 5 primary election due to be completed next week, the Lake County Registrar of Voters issued an update on its progress to wrap up the final ballot count.
The elections office said that a total of 4,499 ballots remain to be counted. That’s about 600 fewer ballots than the total count given a week ago.
This latest total count includes 4,189 vote-by-mail ballots, 266 provisional/conditional ballots, and 44 vote-by-mail ballots that require further review for various reasons.
Once the 28-day canvass is completed, then the primary results will be considered final and official, the elections office reported.
A new law that went into effect this year, AB 63, requires that the elections office update vote results and unprocessed ballot counts at least once per week and post the updated information on its website.
