This includes 57 election day polling places, plus early voting which is counted as a separate precinct. NOTE: On Election Day, voters will vote at regular polling places (NOT school polling places). 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 February 13th. Vote totals may change in the days following the election as provisional 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 Tuesday, February 20. 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 |
