The update includes 52,392 ballots processed since Election Night. This update includes Vote by Mail ballots returned by mail, in a Ballot Drop Box and Vote Center, and Provisional and Conditional Voter Registration ballots cast on Election Day.

The total election results count is now 3,675,213, which is 64.06% of registered voters. Election results can be viewed on LAVOTE.GOV.

The estimate of outstanding ballots to be processed is 141,900. See the categories below:

Vote by Mail ballots: 50,000

Conditional Voter Registration ballots: 81,000

Provisional ballots: 10,900

This adjusted estimate includes Vote by Mail ballots received from the United States Postal Service today and ballots returned in a Ballot Drop Box or Vote Center on Election Day.

The estimate also includes ballots pending signature cures from voters whose signatures on the Return Envelope were missing or did not match their registration records. These voters have been notified and instructed on how to cure their ballots to be counted.
