November 5, 2024 General Election Results Release Plan

October 29, 2024 - As Election Day approaches, Corvallis elections staff are reminding voters of when they can expect to see election results. The Benton County Elections Office will release the unofficial election night results for all races after 8 p.m. on Election Day, with an update on unofficial election results on Wednesday, November 13. For ranked choice voting contests (Ward 6 and Ward 7 City Council seats), the first-choice rankings will be reported in these unofficial results.

If no candidate for Ward 6 or Ward 7 receives more than 50% of the vote, the Benton County Elections Office will proceed with tallying second-choice votes for each of those contests. The official and complete ranked choice voting results will be released with the final election results, expected by Wednesday, November 27.

"We are working hard in partnership with the Benton County Elections Office to ensure an efficient and transparent administration of the upcoming election," said City Recorder Alex Downing.
