Los Angeles County elections officials continue to chip away at ballots received for Tuesday's primary election but still have hundreds of thousands left to count.
Just since election night, there have been 77,521 ballots processed countywide, L.A.
County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk Dean Logan said in a statement Wednesday evening.
That brings the total election results count to nearly 1.4 million, which represents roughly 23.7% of registered voters.
As of 5:30 p.m.
Wednesday, county election official estimated there were 713,180 ballots left to process, broken down as such:
Vote-by-mail ballots: 700,000
Conditional voter registration ballots: 11,340
Provisional ballots: 1,840
Included in the estimate of outstanding vote-by-mail ballots are ballots postmarked by election day, those received from the United States Postal Service on Wednesday, as well as those returned at official drop boxes and vote centers on election day.
The estimate is subject to change as ballots continue to be scanned, prepared and processed, according to local officials.
It also does not include additional vote-by-mail ballots that were postmarked on election day and will arrive at the processing center through next Tuesday.
