Nov. 9, 2000 - Absentee ballot tabulation for King County
King County Elections will be tabulating absentee ballots today and Veteran's Day at the County Mail Ballot facility in Georgetown. This tabulation is exactly on track in accordance with the Elections Office planned schedule, published two weeks ago in the media kit.
The Elections Office will be conducting a media tour and explanation of the process. The tour and explanation will take place:
Today, Nov. 9th
1:30 p.m. (meet and greet starts at 1 p.m.)
Mail Ballot Operations Site (MBOS)
1915 S. Corgiat Dr., in Georgetown, near the King County Airport Please see driving directions below or call (206) 296-1565
Records and Elections Division Manager Bob Bruce and Superintendent of Elections Julie Anne Kempf will be on hand to explain and discuss the verification and tabulation process for absentee ballots and to provide on-camera interviews.
There will be some activity at MBOS this morning, which will include tabulation of small batches, comparison of tabulation figures as part of the checks and balances process, clean-up for the big tabulation push, and a refresher course in tabulation for tabulators returning after a few months' absence. This activity will not be an especially dynamic visual story, although a media representative for Elections will be on hand. No interviews, on-camera or otherwise, will be given in the morning, although still photos and B-roll may be shot.
The afternoon will be bustling with activity, as the second major tabulation of the week gets under way. This will be a very visual story, with all of the County's tabulation devices counting the ballots opened on Wednesday and Thursday morning.
This tabulation will continue all day Friday, with new results posted at 4 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 10th.
Directions to Mail Ballot Operations Site (MBOS)
From Downtown Seattle, travel Southbound on I-5, take the Swift-Albro Exit. At the bottom of the exit, continue straight through the light onto a small two-lane road. This is Corgiat Dr. Drive to the end of Corgiat, there will be warehouses to the left and right. Turn left onto a driveway and park safely. Look for the signs: MBOS is at the southern end of this warehouse.
