Election Results Explained: https://www.sdvote.com/content/rov/en/election-results-explained.html
From the County News Center: On election night, campaigns, candidates and voters want to see results as soon as possible. Counting ballots takes time to ensure every ballot is valid and accurately processed.
Several factors contribute to the ballot-counting process:
- The Registrar of Voters sent ballots to more than 2 million voters.
- Voters may return ballots by mail on Election Day, Nov. 3. The Registrar counts all mail ballots postmarked by Election Day and received within seven days.
- Residents who missed the registration deadline may cast a provisional ballot through 8 p.m. on Election Day. The Registrar must verify their registration before counting their ballot.
Election Night Results:
The Registrar will post the election night results on sdvote.com and the Registrar of Voters X account.
- The Registrar will post the first set of unofficial election night results shortly after 8 p.m. This update includes mail ballots received before Election Day and ballots cast at vote centers through Nov. 2.
- After vote centers close at 8 p.m., reporting will pause briefly as poll workers secure and transport ballots from over 200 vote centers across the county to the Registrar’s office.
- The next round of results will only include ballots cast at vote centers on Election Day. No additional mail ballots will be included on election night. Staff will scan the ballots and post periodic updates until all vote center ballots are counted.
- Final unofficial election night results may be posted around 1 a.m. or later. These results will include only Election Day ballots that can be processed immediately.
