Reviewing
County boards are responsible for confirming their own results before the state board conducts its final canvass. In Durham, officials are looking at ballots that could not be counted on election night. These include provisional ballots cast when a voter’s eligibility needed further review.
Most races in Durham County have already been decided. The remaining review is expected to affect only a small number of ballots.
How This Fits Into Statewide Certification
Every county in North Carolina is required to complete its canvass before the State Board of Elections can declare results official. Durham’s meeting is part of that coordinated process. Voters can still check the status of their individual ballot through the state voter search tool while the review continues.
