What these figures mean

The report lists 50 ballots cast in the contest and 83 candidate selections. In a two-seat election, candidate selections must not be described as 83 individual voters.

Further valid ballots and canvass review may change the count. Precinct reporting completion is not certification and does not establish that all eligible ballots have been processed.
