Turnout numbers showed that 75,522 of the 97,447 ballots cast were from mail voters, 441 were early voters and 21,484 ballots were voted at the polls. Of the total votes cast, approximately 22 percent were cast at the polls and 78 percent were cast by mail, according to Church.
San Mateo County had 475 reporting precincts and 350 precincts associated with a specific polling place. There were 1,245 election officers serving at those polling places June 3.
“We truly appreciate the exceptional men, women and students who served our voters on Election Day. Their dedication and professionalism was critical to the success of conducting the election,” Church said in a prepared statement.
The results are certified once the canvass is completed in the 28 days following an election. During the canvass, the vote by mail ballots and the paper and electronic ballots cast at the registration and elections offices and the polls are added to the semi-official vote totals. After, a 1 percent manual tally of the votes is conducted to confirm the accuracy of the election, according to Church.
