The results will still be tabulated precinct by precinct, the CEB will supply reports, (in real-time) to the local media, who will be present.

Rebecca White, Owner and General Manager of WSLM will be announcing the results LIVE on WSLM 97.9 FM, 1220 AM, and live on social media.

The local newspaper will be posting results online and in their next printed edition. 

“We are grateful that our local community media outlets are partnering with our County Election Board in keeping everyone safe but well informed,” said Rockey. “As your County Election Administrator, the health and safety of my voters, election workers, my employees, and our families are my number one priority! I’m advising everyone to stay safe and exercise your right to vote, vote absentee by mail!”
