Monday was the deadline for the counties to certify their election results to the state. As of around a quarter after 8:00am this morning, all of the results from the 2010 Primary Election are now up on Oregonvotes.org for you to check out.
Now that we’ve received the counties’ certifications, our State elections staff has until Thursday, June 17 at 5 pm, or 30 days after the election, to certify the results. As it is rare but not unheard of that a number changes before state certification, the numbers received from the counties on Monday will almost certainly be the final, official results. This ten-day state certification period allows the state time to compile the official state results out of 36 separate elections. We check the math and collate races that cross county lines, such as congressional districts, legislative districts and special service districts. We take special care to make sure the results are beyond reproach.
The deadline for requesting a recount is five days after the certification deadline, or in the case of the 2010 primary, Tuesday, June 22 at 5pm. A partial recount may be followed up by a request for a full recount no later than 10 days after that.
