The polls are closed, and we’ve already begun releasing voting results. Make sure to visit our Results Portal for regular updates on mail ballot and precinct ballot results.
Results will be posted using the following schedule:
8:05 p.m. – Vote by Mail Results
8:30 p.m. – Mail Ballot Precinct Results
9:00 p.m. – Universal Voting Center Results
9:30 p.m. – Precinct Results
After 9:30 p.m., precinct results will continue to be posted every half hour until all precincts are in.
Precinct status can be tracked on our Precinct Tracker, an online feature that dynamically updates as ballots reach each designated point. As depicted on our Elections Gallery, after the polls are closed ballots are transported from the precinct to the receiving station to the Tower Road dock. After the docks scan them in, the ballots go through an assembly line process until the point where the votes are finally logged and counted.

Election Day is in full swing, but what did it take to get to this point in the process? It’s been awhile since we’ve been able to put up a thousand words for you, so we thought we’d try something a bit different.
Sometimes, there is no better way of explaining a process than using imagery rather than words. What started out as a long blog post has now become a full-fledged feature on the Elections Office website. Over the past few months, we’ve been taking pictures of every step of the elections process. We really think you’ll like what you see.

San Mateo County polls opened this morning for the June 3 Statewide Direct Primary Election. Before you head out to vote, make sure to follow the steps we outlined in yesterday’s post!
Checking your polling place location can save a lot of hassle in the end. There are several polling locations that changed for this Election, so it’s important to verify where you’re supposed to be voting.
If you’re near San Mateo or Redwood City and don’t have time to get to your own precinct, come to one of the Universal Voting Centers. Located at 555 County Center in Redwood City and 40 Tower Road in San Mateo, the Universal Voting Centers can accommodate any San Mateo County voter from any San Mateo County precinct.
For example, if I am normally vote at precinct #1234 but I can only get to the 555 County Center voting location before 8pm, I would simply give my information to the helpful poll worker. The poll worker would in turn give me an access code to the eSlates that allowed me to vote the ballot options for precinct #1234.
If Jane Smith was from precinct #5678, and went to 555 County Center also, her access code would allow her to vote for the ballot options for precinct #5678.
Get to the polls today to vote! They’re open until 8 p.m. After that, check out the election results on our Results Portal!
