These results were counted and reported publicly on election night. For further confirmation that your ballot was counted, use the Voter Search.
Your ballot status will show up in the “Your Voter History” section as soon as your county completes the post-election process of assigning voter history to your record.
This may take up to a few weeks after Election Day.
FYI: Intimidating any voter is a crime. Voters who feel harassed or intimidated should notify an election official immediately.
