LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The Registrar of Voters Office this week reported making significant progress in completing the ballot count for the Nov. 5 general election.

Until the official canvass — the process of counting all of the ballots — is complete, the general election results are not final.

The Lake County elections office had more than 19,000 ballots still to count after election night, as Lake County News has reported.

Last week’s update put the unprocessed ballots still to be counted at 11,097.

In the latest update, the Registrar of Voters Office said the total number of ballots remaining to be counted as of Wednesday was 1,805.

That includes 1,453 provisional or conditional ballots, and 352 vote-by-mail ballots that require further review, the registrar’s office reported.

Specifics of the races have not been released, and are not expected to be until the final vote tally is completed.

The official canvass must be completed by county election offices by Dec. 3 so that the Secretary of State can certify the state’s election results by Dec. 10.
