All eyes were on the ballots in the mail when the results of the general elections were determined in November. And now, with Senate control depending on two runoff elections in Georgia, it’s no surprise that ballots in the mail are getting attention again. Here’s what we know about when they will be counted:
Ballots by mail could not be counted before the polls closed, even if they arrived before election day. But many ballots have already been processed, which means that envelope signatures and addresses have been verified, although the vote count itself only started on Tuesday night.
Of course, it is difficult to say how long it will take for all ballots sent by mail to be counted.
First, some mailings may not have been received yet. Although most Georgians have to receive their ballots until the polls close at 7 pm. East, military and foreign voters have three more days to receive their ballots, as long as they have mailed them. them on Tuesday.
Second, some counties will count their mail ballots faster than others.
So when will all the ballots sent by mail be counted? Only time will tell.
