King County Elections will post updated general election results on its website at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 9 with a goal of including 60,000 ballots in the report.

Although the county elections offices will be closed to the public, ballot processing staff will work Saturday, Nov. 10 and Sunday, Nov. 11 and will post updates at 4:30 p.m. both days.

As of Friday morning, 723,283 ballots have been processed and reported. The elections department has an estimated 262,000 ballots remaining to be processed. About 9,000 of these are waiting for voters to respond to requests to supply or update signatures. If voters have been contacted by Elections, they should respond promptly so their ballot can be processed.
