Ballot Process Live-Stream

Clatsop County Clerk and Elections Office will provide live, online video streaming of its processing of local ballots. The live feed began October 19.

 

Activities that will be live streamed:

  • Receiving ballots at the Clerk and Elections Office.
  • Elections staff scanning ballots to log as received. 
  • Signature verification by elections staff to compare signatures on ballot envelopes to voter’s registration records.
  • Elections staff removing ballots from envelopes and checking ballots for damage that may make them unreadable for the ballot counter at the Judge Guy Boyington Building (starting November 2)
  • Processing the ballots to count the votes through the ballot-counting machine

The video feed will be live to show ballot processing and counting after Election Day until all qualified ballots are counted and through certification.

 

Please note that while live, the video feed may show extended periods with no activity because ballots are processed as they are received by the Clerk and Elections Office.

 

Results

Due to state guidelines allowing ballots to be postmarked on Election Day, it may take several days for final unofficial election results to be announced.

 

Election results will be posted online starting at 8 p.m. on Election Day at clatsopcounty.gov and as updates are provided.

 

For more information about election security, ballot processing and counting, listen to the latest episode of PodClatsop, featuring a conversation between County Clerk Tracie Krevanko and Clatsop County Commissioners about the safeguards in place to protect the integrity of our elections.
