Has florida counted mail in ballots yet
In Florida, mail-in ballots, also known as absentee ballots, are processed and counted in a phased approach. The state has a specific timeline for counting these ballots, which is outlined in Florida Statutes.
As of my knowledge cutoff on November 8, 2022, the Florida Division of Elections has reported that:
- Pre-canvassing: The state has already begun pre-canvassing, which involves reviewing and processing mail-in ballots to ensure they are valid and complete. This process started on October 26, 2022.
- Canvassing: The actual counting of mail-in ballots began on November 5, 2022, and is expected to continue through November 15, 2022.
- Post-canvassing: After the canvassing process is complete, the results will be certified by each county's canvassing board and then transmitted to the Florida Secretary of State's office.
Please note that these dates are subject to change, and the Florida Division of Elections may update their timeline as needed. You can check their website for the latest information on the status of mail-in ballot counting in Florida.
Keep in mind that the counting process may take some time, and the results may not be finalized until after the November 15, 2022, deadline.
