Elections officials have approximately one month to complete their extensive tallying, auditing and certification work. The secretary of state’s office will release a summary of ballots to be counted by county within the next 24 hours. The first unprocessed estimate has typically come in in the range of 4.3 million to 4.9 million in the 2016, 2018, 2020 and 2022 elections. As of the evening of Nov. 6, several large counties had posted their first estimates of what was left, accounting for at least 3.16 million votes.
