Secondary source report
- Reported ballots (available methods)
- 36,861
Secondary republication of election-office aggregate counts. The reporting date is the dated source snapshot, not a claim that every county reported at the same time. Registration-party, historical comparisons and forecasts are excluded. The displayed total includes reported mail ballots and any reported in-person ballots. Seventeen counties have unreported in-person counts; their totals include reported mail only, not an assertion of zero in-person voting. The publisher labels the figures as cast/accepted; these preliminary administrative counts are not certified election results.

This is a dated snapshot, not a live count. These preliminary participation totals may be revised. They do not show candidate results or predict an election outcome.
