With the November 4th General Election just a week away, the Contra Costa County Elections Division is devising a strategy for handling and reporting results from the County’s estimated half-million registered voters.
Results of vote-by-mail ballots that are returned before November 1st will be available shortly after the polls close at 8 pm on Election Night.
Meanwhile, with ballots being collected from precincts throughout the County, the first update can be expected at about 9:30 pm, with results updated about every 30 minutes until all precincts report.
The availability of updated reports will be communicated via Twitter and Facebook, using the hashtag #CoCoVotes2014. Changes to the reporting schedule will also be reported there.
The County Elections Division Twitter page is Twitter.com/CoCoElections. The Facebook page is Facebook.com/pages/Contra-Costa-County-Elections/361344510602519.
Results will be posted to the Elections’ Department website, www.cocovote.us, throughout the night and updated by 5 pm every Friday until the election is certified in late November. Statewide election results can be seen on the California Secretary of State’s website at http://vote.sos.ca.gov/.
Local election results will also be available throughout Election Night on Contra Costa Television (CCTV) beginning at 9 pm on Comcast channel 27, Astound channel 32 and AT&T U-Verse channel 99.
Meanwhile, voting is already underway at the Contra Costa County Clerk-Recorders-Elections Division, at 555 Escobar Street in Martinez. Registered voters may drop in to vote or pick up a ballot until 8 pm on Election Day.
The Elections Division will be open for voting on Election Day from 7 am to 8 pm.
Polling place locations and directional maps, as well as information regarding sample ballots and candidates, are also available online.
