Election-night results are unofficial; Douglas County certifies about three weeks later
Photo ID and provisional-ballot deadlines on Nov. 10 and Nov. 13 can still change close races before the county canvass.
OMAHA - Results that appear after polls close at 8 p.m. Tuesday are unofficial, and Douglas County's official count comes about three weeks later, according to the Douglas County Election Commission. The commission says the county canvassing board meets roughly three weeks after the election to certify results, and the commission posts results on its site only after that.
Election-night counts are posted on the Nebraska Secretary of State's unofficial results site. Before the polls opened, the site listed 1,265,162 registered voters and 1,322 precincts statewide, with no results yet.
Deadlines that can move close races
- Nov. 10, 5 p.m.: voters who did not show valid photo ID when they voted must present it at the election commission.
- Nov. 13, 5 p.m.: deadline for verifying provisional ballots.
Both deadlines fall after election night and before the canvass. The commission says detailed precinct results follow two to four weeks after results become official.
