About these numbers

Numbers come from the Washington Secretary of State's daily ballot status file, which lists every returned ballot and its status:

Accepted: the signature has been checked and the ballot will be counted. Received: the county has the ballot but has not checked the signature yet. Rejected: the ballot has a problem, such as a missing or mismatched signature, and the voter must cure it before it can be accepted.

Ballots returned on this page means Accepted plus Received. Nothing here is a vote count or a result; counties tabulate ballots and release results starting on election night.

Turnout is ballots returned divided by currently active registered voters in the area, from the latest state voter file. Areas follow each voter's current registration address, so past elections are measured on today's map.

Pace compares turnout so far with the comparison election at the same number of days before its election day. A few ballots from voters not yet in the voter file count toward the statewide total only.
