It is designed to verify that results have been accurately recorded and reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The process begins immediately after polls close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Election inspectors complete each precinct&#8217;s poll book and statement of votes, record write-in votes, and securely seal ballots and election materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two election inspectors, one Democrat and one Republican, then deliver the materials to the local receiving board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The receiving board checks that materials are properly sealed, seal numbers are documented, and the number of voters recorded matches the number of ballots cast, accounting for any discrepancies documented in the poll book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The records then move to the county level, where the canvass continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These procedures are outlined in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.michigan.gov\/sos\/-\/media\/Project\/Websites\/sos\/Elections\/Election-transparency\/County-Board-of-Canvassers-Manual.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Michigan Bureau of Elections&#8217; County Board of Canvassers Manual<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"who-reviews-and-certifies-the-results\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who Reviews and Certifies the Results?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each of Michigan&#8217;s 83 counties has a bipartisan Board of County Canvassers consisting of four members: two Republicans and two Democrats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These boards are responsible for reviewing election records and certifying results within their counties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the canvass, board members and their assistants:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Review each precinct&#8217;s poll book and statement of votes for completeness and accuracy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Identify and correct obvious mathematical errors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tabulate write-in votes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Verify and compile votes cast for candidates and ballot proposals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Determine the results of the local and county contests for which they are responsible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The canvass includes records from Election Day precincts, early voting sites, and absentee ballot counting boards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"when-will-michigan-s-election-results-be-official\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When Will Michigan&#8217;s Election Results Be Official?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legislature.mi.gov\/Laws\/MCL?objectName=MCL-168-822\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Michigan election law<\/a>, county boards must complete their canvasses within 14 days of the election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the November 3, 2026 election, the key dates are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>November 5:<\/strong> County boards were required to begin the canvassing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>November 17:<\/strong> Deadline for county boards to complete their canvasses and certify results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>November 23:<\/strong> Deadline for Michigan&#8217;s Board of State Canvassers to complete statewide certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once county results are certified, they are transmitted to the state. The bipartisan Board of State Canvassers reviews the county returns and certifies results for statewide and other contests under its jurisdiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Michigan Department of State has confirmed these deadlines in its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.michigan.gov\/sos\/resources\/news\/2026\/11\/03\/strong-election-day-voter-turnout-over-84-percent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2026 election guidance<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"what-does-it-mean-that-certification-is-required-by-law\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Does It Mean That Certification Is Required by Law?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Michigan law establishes that election certification is a clerical, ministerial, and nondiscretionary duty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This means county canvassers are legally required to certify results based on the official statements of returns and any corrected returns. Their responsibility is to review the election records and verify the reported vote totals according to established procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">los <a href=\"https:\/\/legislature.mi.gov\/Laws\/MCL?objectName=MCL-ARTICLE-II-7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Michigan Constitution<\/a> also establishes that election outcomes are determined solely by the votes cast by voters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a county board fails to certify by the required deadline, Michigan law provides a process for the Board of State Canvassers to take over and complete the certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"why-understanding-certification-matters\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why Understanding Certification Matters<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The period following Election Day can bring questions about vote totals, discrepancies, recounts, and when election results become final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Understanding the canvass process helps voters distinguish between unofficial results reported on Election Night and the official results established through certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also explains the responsibilities of local election workers, county canvassers, and state election officials in reviewing and documenting election results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Michigan&#8217;s November 17 county certification deadline approaching, voters can better understand what election officials are reviewing and how the process is governed by state law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Accurate information about election procedures is an important part of civic education and helps community members follow the process through final certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michigan&#8217;s November 3 election is over, but county election boards are still reviewing and certifying the results.
