Wednesday marks day five of canvass in the county after Primary Election Day. More than 41,000 ballots have been tabulated so far from the 63,918 mail-in ballots received. That leaves more than 22,000 ballots to be counted.
The Montgomery County Board of Elections was scheduled to start counting provisional ballots on Wednesday. However “those ballots take some time and the goal is to process canvass mail-in, then provisional ballots and then canvass mail-in two”, according to Dr. Gilberto Zelaya from the Montgomery County Board of Elections. Zelaya also explained to My MCM the web delivery requests ballots process which started on day 5 at the Montgomery College Germantown campus.
Dr. Zelaya reminded voters that the deadline to accept timely mail-in ballots is Friday, July 29 at 10:00 a.m. and added that “the final results can take hopefully the next couple of days.”
