🗳️ Results for the Nov. 5 General Election will be official on Nov. 26! We’re counting all valid ballots—including cured ballots & those postmarked by Nov. 5—until Nov. 25. Check out the results release schedule: bit.ly/4fwTlHO

@Bryanthetyrant This is the same process for all counties in Washington State. Vote by mail is a different process than Florida.

@PierceCountyAud Up to the 25th of November. The entire state of Florida completed its count in a day. Pierce County as a whole has a population of 931,000 people. This process should not take weeks! Reminding me of the Dino Rossi matter all over again....

Updated results for the November 5 General Election have just been posted! View them at PierceCountyElections.org The next results release will be tomorrow by 6 p.m.

@Bryanthetyrant A postmark of Nov 5 (election day) is a valid ballot and we will count it. Anything with a postmark after election day will not be counted. We also count ballots that were challenged and have been cured. Valid ballots will be counted up until Nov 25. Results are final on Nov 26

@PierceCountyAud Why did you delete a post that I had commented on questioning the length of this process? In the comment on the deleted post you mentioned "with a valid postmark"? What does that exactly mean? A post mark AFTER the election date? Also you should not be counting votes...

@Bryanthetyrant We collected 125,000 ballots on election night. Those take time to process. We also count every ballot we receive in the mail with a valid postmark, as well as ballots that were challenged but have been cured.

@PierceCountyAud Why is it so hard for this county to count ballots? taking over three days to count is ridiculous!

Another successful post-election audit! Our political observers selected random batches of ballots for a hand count and the results were compared to the results of the machine count from the selected batch. You can view the results of the audit at PierceCountyElections.org

A few more hours left to get your ballots turned in! ✅ Ballots must be postmarked or dropped off by 8 p.m. tonight. We have over 50 ballot drop boxes across Pierce County, so make sure your voice is heard. 🗳️

@b_barr00 Yes! If you're registered to vote in Washington, you can use any drop box in the state and your ballot will get routed to the correct county. Thanks for the good question!

@PierceCountyAud Can Pierce county residents drop their ballots off in a different county? I work in King and those boxes are much closer than detouring to Pierce on my way home

Traffic is heavy around the ballot drop box and Elections Center on S. 35th Street in Tacoma. Please pack your patience if you're planning to drop off your ballot at this location. Reminder: We have 50+ other secure ballot drop boxes in Pierce County: piercecountywa.gov/334/Ballot-Dro….
