Dare County Board of Elections Canvass meeting

Results on election night are unofficial. Canvass is the official process of determining the votes have been counted and tabulated correctly, resulting in the authentication of the official election results. 

In every county, the canvass meeting, when the results are certified is 10 days after Election Day. Because elections thrive on transparency, the canvass meeting is open to the public.
