§ 15373 Precinct Vote Counting Results

This law says that when votes are counted, the results must be shown for each precinct (the local voting area).

Key Takeaways

  • •Vote totals must be broken down by precinct.
  • •Applies to any ballot counting done under this article.
  • •Helps the public see voting patterns in each local area.

Example

A town holds an election for mayor and after the votes are tallied, the city publishes a report that lists how many votes each neighborhood (precinct) gave to each candidate.

Because of this law, the election results can't just be a single total number; they have to break down the numbers precinct by precinct so everyone can see how each area voted.
