Generally we post one at the precinct and one at City Hall. The new laws ' <br /> require that all absentee ballots be counted in a central location and those ballots are no <br /> longer sent to the precincts. The law also states that results from the election cannot be ', <br /> reported until precinct results and absentee ballot results are combined and reported as a ' <br /> � single number. In previous elections, the results reported at the precincts included both <br /> precinct and absentee vote results. <br /> • Because of tl�ese law chan es, the fastest wa to obtain results combined absentee and <br /> g Y � <br /> precinct totals) is the Anoka County Web Site: <br /> http://ww2.anokacount .uy s/v4 elections/general-election.aspx. <br /> �lease remember that these results are still unofficial until such time that the Anoka <br /> County Canvassing Board (between the 3rd and l Oth day following the General Election) <br /> and the State Canvassing Board (between November 23 and November 26, 2010) have I <br /> both acted on the results. <br /> Recounts can happen for several different reasons; state wide, precinct drawn, candidate <br /> request and count totals. Staff will keep you abreast of any recount requirements. <br /> CITY ELECTION CANVASSING <br /> The City has until November 12, 2010 to canvass our local, municipal results and it is <br /> suggested that we canvass the �esults at the November 10, 2010 regularly scheduled <br /> meeting. <br /> • <br /> 15 <br />
