Calendars of Post-Vote Processes

One goal of undertaking our 50 State Post-Vote Guide: How We Count, Canvass, Certify, and Audit Our Elections was to provide an overview of the timeline and deadlines for key post-vote processes. We hope that these calendars, now available, will be a valuable resource to partners and allies in monitoring and protecting our democracy.

These calendars cover these post-vote processes in all 50 states, including:

• Pre-Canvassing: This includes when pre-canvassing of vote-by-mail ballots can start and when these ballots begin to be scanned or fed into tabulators.

• Canvass + Certification Dates: For both local and statewide start dates or deadlines as applicable.

• Audits: The timeline info for different types of audits depending on existing state law.

See the calendars for all 50 states, plus calendars by process step, that allow you to compare timelines across each state.
