FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION: "WHY DID THIS TAKING SO LONG?!"
Mail-In ballots postmarked November 3rd have until November 20th to be received, verified and counted. They are trickling in.
In addition there are "Conditional Voter Registration" ballots which were created at the Voting Centers during the five days (Oct 30-Nov3) they were open and have to be verified at the Downey (or Pomona?) vote counting center before they are counted. Click here for more information on the "Conditional Voter Registration" process.
There are also "Provisional Ballots" which were created at the Voting Centers and are being verified and processed. Click here for more information on "Provisional Ballots."
All this takes time to process these ballots.
The County issues two News Releases after each official vote tally (four more are scheduled at this time)- those which have just been counted and those which need to be processed. The News Releases break down the County-wide numbers of each of these remaining ballot types.
These News Releases can be found at https://lavote.net/news-room/news-releases Go to "2020 News Releases" and find the relevant News Releases at the section labeled "November 3, 2020 General Election."
NOTE: These update numbers for processing results and outstanding ballots are for all of LA County- not just Manhattan Beach. The numbers for Manhattan Beach are not provided but are typically a small fraction of the LA County overall numbers.
Whew.....not easy to find all this info!
