7.30. And also, when will the candidates, when will the supporters of the candidates, when do we think that the final results for, and not with the mail-in voting or the absentee ballots, when will the results from today be finally in? Barring no problems.
60:46
And I want to, of course, clarify that, you know, there'll be some results get reported from provision is all that through the end of this week.
60:54
But the majority of the results will be coming in tonight, really by eight o'clock.
60:59
We'll probably have 75 to 80 percent in usually a few stragglers that take a little longer.
61:04
Some of our outlying polling places may take longer to get the results in.
61:09
Typically, we're done reporting for the most part by, say, 9.30 or 10.
61:53
And what encounters a recount? Is that just throw all the ballots back through the machine, or is that a hand recount, or could it be both?
62:04
Yeah, it's a two-stage process, actually.

Do you ever have that problem when someone shows up and they've got a form of ID with a maiden name or primary name or something in their thing? Does that happen? And what occurs to a person?
98:22
Yeah, so we are always encouraging people to update their voter information.
98:27
So if you just recently got married or divorced and you've changed your name or if you've changed your name for any reason, make sure you update it with us.
98:34
It helps a lot.
98:35
We can still get you processed if you've changed your name, but it's much easier, especially with vote-by-mail, if you keep all your information updated.
98:44
So if you've had an address change, your signature is altered over time, that happens a lot, especially that's another important one with vote-by-mail.
98:52
or name change, anything like that, change of party, let us know what you want to do.
102:55
especially, well, I mean, with the new polling, I mean, that your polling station may have changed or your polling place may have changed.

Could you clear the air on that a little bit?
87:04
Thanks for the question, Doug.
87:05
Yeah.
87:05
And people are confused.
87:07
But the short answer and the one I really want to communicate is nothing has changed for the 2026 election cycle.
87:13
So however you whatever idea you showed, all the citizenship requirements, which are still that you have to be a U.S. citizen.
87:21
Those that were in place in 2024 and earlier are the exact same ones for 26.

And then their signature is what they use to compare it with.
