Colorado Karaniwang Dahilan: Ang Gabi ng Halalan ay Hindi Gabi ng Mga Resulta

Inaasahan ng mga opisyal ng halalan na magkakaroon ng mahigit 3 milyong balota na bibilangin kung mananatili ang mga numero ng turnout sa 2020

Denver — Colorado voters have until 7 p.m. tomorrow, Tuesday, Nov. 5, to cast a ballot in person or to hand return their mail ballot to a drop box or a Voter Service and Polling Center for the 2024 presidential election. As voters head to the polls, Colorado Common Cause is reminding the public that it may take several days for election officials to finalize results.

“Mahalagang marinig ang bawat boses sa halalan na ito at nangangahulugan iyon ng pagbibilang ng bawat boto,” sabi Aly Belknap, executive director ng Colorado Common Cause. “It takes time to count every vote accurately and that’s why election night is not results night. A slow count isn’t a problem, it’s a virtue. It means elections officials are doing everything they can to count every ballot fairly and accurately.”

Bago magsimulang magbilang ng mga balota ang mga opisyal ng halalan, kailangan muna nilang iproseso ang mga balota, na kinabibilangan ng pagsuri upang matiyak na ang deklarasyon sa labas ng sobre ay nilagdaan ng botante at ang pirma ay tumutugma sa pirmang nasa file. Kung ang pirma ng isang botante ay nawawala o hindi tumugma sa pirma na nasa file, ang mga opisyal ng halalan ay dapat na abisuhan ang botante na iyon at bigyan sila ng pagkakataon na "lunasan" ang problema. Ang lahat ng mga hakbang na ito ay tumatagal ng oras.

Ang Colorado ay isa sa 10 estado na nagpapahintulot sa mga manggagawa sa halalan na magsimulang magproseso at magbilang ng mga balota bago ang Araw ng Halalan.

“Even though we may not know the election winners when we go to bed, what matters most is making sure every eligible voter’s ballot is counted accurately,” added Belknap. 

Noong 2020, 87% ng mga botante ng Colorado ang bumoto, na mahigit 3 milyong balota ang inihagis. If voter turnout numbers hold, Colorado can expect to see similar numbers again in this year’s presidential election.
