Cascade County election results

The election is over and the unofficial results are in.

Results aren’t yet final though.

County election officials will resolved provisional ballots by Nov. 13 no one was able to vote twice if they moved or lost a ballot. Counties check those ballots across state rolls statewide to verify, according to Rina Fontana-Moore, Cascade County clerk and recorder.

On Nov. 14, the state board of canvassers will meet to randomly select the precincts, races and issues for the post-election audit and the county canvas must be completed by Nov. 20, according to the Montana Secretary of State’s office. County Commissioners will review and sign off on the local canvasses and on Nov. 28, the state board of canvassers will meet to canvass and certify the statewide general election results.

With all Cascade County precincts reporting and 34,195 votes cast in the county, the 2018 results are below.

The Cascade County elections office mailed 33,008 and had received about 67 percent back by Friday. On Tuesday, county elections officials estimated that about 75 percent had been returned and Fontana-Moore estimated that 5,000 to 6,000 voted at the polls on Tuesday.

Moore said Wednesday morning that there are 41,949 active, late registered and provisional voters in Cascade County.
