Vancouver, Wash. – Beginning at 8:30 am Wednesday, Aug, 8, elections officials will perform a hand count of approximately 600 ballots randomly selected as part of a manual comparison against machine results.

The selected ballots will be counted in the total returns on Election Day. But for this comparison, the County Council Chair – At Large race on those ballots will also be counted by hand, to check the accuracy of the ballot tabulation equipment.
