The unofficial election night results displayed on this website are based on the unofficial
results reported to us by each County Board of Elections and as such, are posted on the web as a convenience to the public.
New York State Election Law requires a complete recanvass of all votes cast during Early Voting and on Election Day and the
canvass of all valid early mail, absentee, military/overseas, special, and affidavit (provisional) ballots before any election results can be certified.
Please remember that initial election night results may change as all valid ballots are processed and counted in the days following
Election Day and county boards upload updated results.
Once all ballot counting tasks have been completed (usually within 15 days for a primary and within 25 days for a general election),
each County Board certifies their respective election results pursuant to and in accordance with the applicable sections of
New York State Election Law (see NYS Election Law, Sections 3-222, 9-200, 9-208).
Those certifications are then sent to the State Board for aggregation, certification and publication/posting.
