King County Elections certifies General Election
2006/11/28:
King County Elections this afternoon certified the 2006 midterm election, counting 635,753 ballots. Turnout in the November General Election was higher than expected with 65 percent of registered voters participating in the election, most opting to cast their ballot by mail. Certified results are now available online.
Election results summary:
- 442,874 total absentee ballots
- 192,879 total poll ballots (includes provisional ballots)
- 635,753 total ballots cast
Staff reports to the Canvassing Board demonstrated continued improvements by staff in reconciling ballots counted and voters credited with voting. King County’s post-election audit of 4 percent of accessible voting units (or electronic voting equipment) used on election day resulted in a perfect match between the electronic vote totals and the paper audit trail. To date, all manual audits of King County’s accessible voting units have been 100 percent accurate.
King County Elections is already busy planning for a special election on February 6, 2007. Issues on the ballot will include an annexation to the City of Renton, a Seattle School District levy and bond, a Snoqualmie Valley School District bond, and levies for Fire Protection Districts Number 38 and 40. Jurisdictions still have until December 15, 2006 to file resolutions for the February ballot.
