SEMI-OFFICIAL RESULTS

TORRANCE MUNICIPAL ELECTION - JUNE 3, 2014

 
  Finalizing the Official Vote Tally (Canvass)
Counting votes does not end on Election Night. The Registrar Recorder makes sure all ballots cast are counted. After Election Night in a statewide election, there are thousands of ballots that need to be counted, including Vote by Mail ballots received on Election Day, provisional ballots, write-in ballots, and damaged ballots. These ballots are counted during the 28-day period known as the Official Election Canvass. Ballots require additional review to verify voters are eligible to vote and write-in ballots were cast for qualified candidates.
