Unlike in other countries, elections in the U.S. are highly decentralized, complex and feature a long list of races, from president or Congress all the way down to local ballot measures or town council seats.
In 2020, President Donald Trump proclaimed that the lack of final results on election night could be an indicator of something nefarious and used it to
Republicans in particular have pointed to perceived delays in knowing results as a reason to be suspicious about the integrity of elections. In Nevada, counties have four days to count late-arriving mailed ballots and give voters two more days to fix mailed ballots that arrive in envelopes with errors or missing information. This week, the elections official in the county that includes Reno reminded voters of that extended timeline and said final, official results are unlikely until the actual canvass of the vote on Nov. 18.
U.S. elections also are not nationalized, but rather overseen by states and run by local officials at the county or even township level. The U.S. has some 10,000 jurisdictions charged with overseeing the voting process. Mail ballots are subject to various security checks, varying by state. Some require voter signatures or ID information to match their registration files, while others require witnesses or notaries to affirm a voter’s identity.
