Reporting Preliminary Results after the Close of Polls on Election Night
The Department will release the first preliminary summary report of election results at approximately 8:45 p.m. This report will provide the results from the vote-by-mail ballots that the Department receives and processes before Election Day.
With this first summary report, the Department will also release a preliminary Statement of the Vote, a precinct turnout report, and a neighborhood turnout report.
At approximately 9:45 p.m., the Department will release a second summary report of results that includes votes cast at the polling places. At approximately 10:45 p.m. the Department intends to issue a third summary report of results.
After all polling places have reported, the Department will release a final summary report, as well as a second preliminary Statement of the Vote, a precinct turnout report, and a neighborhood turnout report.
Election results will be available from the following sources:The Department will post a sample “zero” summary report at sfelections.org on May 9. This zero report will include a navigation path to the webpages that will display the preliminary results posted on Election Night and after Election Day.
Reporting Preliminary Results after Election Day
Ballot processing continues after Election Day until the Department has counted the votes on all ballots. Ballots that the Department processes after Election Day include vote-by-mail ballots that voters dropped off at the polling places or the City Hall drop-off stations, or that the Department received in the mail within three days of Election Day; unsigned vote-by-mail ballots that were remedied by voters within eight days of the election; provisional ballots; ballots with write-in votes; and votes cast on the Edge accessible voting machines (which the Department must transfer onto paper ballots and tabulate on the equipment used for counting vote-by-mail ballots).
At 4 p.m. every day on which the ballots are counted, the Department will release updated results reports. On any days during which no ballots are counted, the Department will post a notice on sfelections.org stating that no update will be issued for a specified day or days.
Preliminary Statement of the Vote, Neighborhood Turnout Report, Precinct Turnout Report, and Precinct Turnout Map
During the first and last reports on Election Night, and at 4 p.m. on any day after Election Day during which ballots are counted, the Department will release preliminary versions of the following reports:Cryptographic Hashing of Results Files
SHA512 cryptographic hashes will be available for results files posted on sfelections.org. “SHA” is an acronym for “Secure Hash Algorithm”; SHA512 is the strongest cryptographic hash in the SHA2 family. After a file has been downloaded, SHA512 can help verify that the received file is exactly the file that was sent. If the file downloaded from sfelections.org has the same SHA512 hash value as the SHA512 hash value provided for that file, then the file is complete and the election results did not change during the download. More information about SHA512 is available in the FAQs on the results page.
Reporting Final Election Results
The Department will release final election results no later than July 7, which is the end of the canvass period.
After certifying the election results, the Department will deliver the certified statement of the results and associated attachments to the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors and the Secretary of State, and will post the documents on sfelections.org.
Additionally, the Department will post the final results outside the Department’s office, City Hall, Room 48, as well as issue a press release and Twitter and Facebook and notifications that the election results are certified.
Why Election Results Change After Election Night
On Election Night, the Department of Elections reports results from all polling places. However, there are ballots that cannot be processed on Election Night, including vote-by-mail ballots that the Department received on Election Day and provisional ballots cast at polling places. All aspects of the election process are open to public view, so candidates, members of the media, and the public may observe signature verification and processing of vote-by-mail and provisional ballots.
