When will results be available?

Early voting results will be posted promptly at 8 p.m.  After 8 p.m. we will enter and update returns as quickly as they are phoned in from our 18 school precincts.  Once all precincts have called in, results will be labeled "Preliminary Final Results."

Results on Cable TV

Results will be available on Iowa City Cable channel 5 from 8:00 to 9:30.  We will broadcast a rotating total for the contested Iowa City and Clear Creek Amana races.

Number of Precincts

There are 19 precincts in Johnson County for school elections.  This includes 18 election day polling places, plus early voting which is counted as a separate precinct.  Number of precincts by school district:

• Iowa City: 10 (9 plus early vote)
• Clear Creek Amana: 7 (6 plus early vote)
• Solon: 3 (2 plus early vote)
• Lone Tree: 2 (1 plus early vote)

When are the results final?

Once the poll workers have returned their supplies to our office, our staff will review the printouts from the voting machines and make any corrections.  Once all corrections are made, results will include the heading "Verified Preliminary Final Results."  These will be the last returns posted on September 10th.

Vote totals may change in the days following the election as special ballots and late arriving absentee ballots with timely postmarks are counted.

All election results are unofficial until the official canvass of votes, conducted by the Johnson County Board of Supervisors on Friday, September 13.  Following the canvass, results will include the heading "Final Official Results."  These results will remain on our site permanently as a historic record.  Past election returns
