5 We have until May 13 to report our absentee results by precinct. With the purchase of the new high speed counter we completed this task and reported all 21,070 absentee ballot results by precinct on March 31. Run time has greatly improved using the DS850. We also used the DS850 to separate and record all the write-ins on Election Day. This task was previously completed by precinct officials on election night. Eliminating this challenging task from their various duties has been most appreciated by our officials. There were 2,368 write-ins sorted and reported by staff the day after the election. The acquisition of electronic poll books and updated voting equipment has greatly enhanced the service we provide to the voters of Orange County. The Elections Board would not have been able to achieve our goal to provide the best possible service to Orange County residents without the continued support of the Orange County Board of County Commissioners. Thank you for your much appreciated support. Voter turnout statistics for previous elections held in Orange County.
