Marin County Press Release:
The Marin County Elections Department has counted all ballots from the November 5 General Election with a few exceptions. More than 146,000 ballots have been tabulated resulting in a turnout of just over 85%, which is less than the November 2020 General Election that was over 90%.
The only outstanding ballots include those waiting for voters to fix a signature problem – either missing signature or mismatched signature. Voters have until 5 PM Sunday, December 1, to return their signature verification letter. A drop box will be available at the Civic Center North Archway on Vera Schultz Drive throughout the Thanksgiving weekend because the Elections Department office will be closed.
The mandatory manual tally of ballots started November 18 and was finished November 21 following California Elections Code section 15360. Roberts will officially certify the election December 3 as required by Assembly Bill 3184, which was passed this year as urgency legislation.
The certification will then go to the Board of Supervisors on December 10 to accept the Canvass of Votes and declare the results of the contests over which the Board has jurisdiction.
More information about the election can be found on the Elections Department website. Follow the Elections Department on Facebook.
