2024 General Election Facts
A quick look back: Facts from the November 5th, 2024 General Election! (PDF)
*The numbers in the 2024 General Election Fact Sheet represent how voters actually cast their ballots - by absentee vote, early voting, or in-person voting on Election Day. A small number of absentee ballots from the final Election Day returns were inadvertently recorded as and are reflected in the official canvass as "Election Day votes." This does not affect any votes cast or the final vote totals but does appear to show a lower number of absentee votes and a higher number of Election Day votes when comparing individual precincts.
