RECOVERED: Dozens of Santa Clara County ballots found alongside Highway 17 will be counted and included in official 2022 election results, officials said.
The USPS recovered 36 ballots and turned them in to the Registrar of Voters on Monday, who examined and determined 31 ballots to be legitimate. Four of the uncounted ballots had opened envelopes while one had a signature that did not match the voter's signature on file, election officials said.
The 36 ballots were discovered with non-election mail and packages on Friday, three days after the election. The registrar's office stated the discovered ballots would undergo the same validation and verification procedures as all mailed ballots. "I am glad that we were able to recover these ballots and that the majority of them can be counted and included in the final election results, which we will certify on schedule on Dec. 8," said Shannon Bushey, the county registrar.
