Under Chapter 4 of the California Election Code, county elections offices must conduct post-election canvassing to ensure the accuracy of the results, including a manual tally (hand count) of randomly selected ballots. In Placer County, nearly 12,600 ballots (more than 5% of all ballots cast) were included in this manual tally. The canvass confirmed that the ballots were counted accurately by election equipment.

Those interested in election canvassing policies and procedures can visit the Elections Office at 3715 Atherton Road in Rocklin, call 1-800-824-8683 or email election@placer.ca.gov for more information or to have their questions answered.
