Stanislaus County Clerk-Recorder and Registrar of Voters Donna Linder announced the March 3 Presidential Primary Election canvass of the vote was completed on April 13.
The county certified its election results which can be found posted on the election website, www.stanvote.com
Gov. Newsom’s March 20 issuance of Executive Order N-34-20 extended the deadline associated with the official canvass of the March 3 election by 21 days.
The certification of the vote includes an official summary of the results, including a tally of votes conducted by Stanislaus County for qualified write-in candidates for president and Assembly District 21. In those races all results from each of the counties involved must be viewed and combined to establish the total votes received for write-in candidates.
Stanislaus County had 261,263 registered voters eligible to cast their ballot in this election, of which 113,666 voted. Voter turn-out was 43.51 percent in this election.
The official results do not change from the initial outcome for the District 5 County Supervisors race. Channce Condit and Tom Hallinan were the first and second-place finishers, respectively, shutting out Mike Kline for the Nov. 3 general election.
