On Tuesday, Will County Clerk Nancy Schultz Voots will oversee the final vote count, which includes provisional and grace period votes and absentee votes postmarked by midnight Nov. 1.
Nine teams of election judges of one Democrat and one Republican each will go through the votes to get a final tally that will be canvassed or certified as official on Nov. 27. Tuesday’s vote counting will begin at 8:30 a.m. in the clerk’s election department, which is located in the basement of the Will County Office Building, 302 N. Chicago St.
Voots said countywide there are 914 provisional votes, of which some will count and some won’t if judges determine the voters were not properly registered. Also there are 270 grace period votes, where voters cast ballots on the spot during late voter registration, and a couple thousand absentee votes.
Voots said she heard prior to the election that some voters mistakenly believe that early votes, where voters cast ballots before Election Day, are only counted in close races.
“That’s far from the truth,” she stressed. “Every ballot counts — no matter what.”
