Overview of Election Night Reporting

The Sangamon County Clerk’s office uses an online tool called Election Night Reporting (ENR) to display election results on a website. The website provides visitors with a graphical view of in-depth county results. Web visitors are presented with a breakdown of votes received for a candidate by contest and totals by vote type. Maps illustrate the precincts which have reported, voter turnout, and results by precinct. Users can customize their view by bookmarking specific contests and building “My Favorite Races” page. Downloadable reports and custom filtering are available. The site contains search capabilities and uses a responsive design to fit the size of the user's viewing screen.

When and How Often Will the Results Be Updated?

Election judges at the county’s individual voting sites will begin bringing their results directly to the clerk’s office after polls close and all voters in line at 7 p.m. have been served. Website totals will be updated as new numbers become available.

Totals for Early and Vote by Mail voting will be added immediately after the polls close election night. Election Day totals from the polls will be posted throughout the evening.

Write-in vote totals are posted on the clerk’s website at the end of the evening.
