The following is a press release from Boulder County Elections and is published by the Longmont Observer as a public service. 

Boulder County Clerk & Recorder Hillary Hall will host a webinar on Oct. 30 to help explain what categories and groups of ballots are left to be counted after Election Day and how election night reporting will take place.

What:   The “Buckets of Ballots” & More Briefing webinar

When:   11 a.m. – 12 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 30

Who should attend:   Press, candidate/issue campaign representatives, political parties, and city/special district officials

Where:   At your own computer

RSVP:   RSVP required to [email protected] by Tuesday morning at 9 a.m. with your name and organization; Login information will be emailed to you.

Every election there are "categories" of ballots that will be counted and have the potential to be counted at the end of the eighth day after the election. For instance, military and overseas mail ballots can be received up until the eighth day after the election and still be counted.

In the webinar, Clerk Hall will review the types of categories (buckets, if you will) of ballots that the candidates, parties, and cities should expect to be remaining the day after the election.

This webinar is meant to help bring clarity in terms of how the final ballots are processed and what is and what may be outstanding the day after the election. This information is especially important if a contest is close.

Additionally, the webinar will cover the election night results process, watcher information, recount scenarios, and Colorado’s election audit (risk limiting audit).
