Unofficial, not certified
ChuukVotes.org is an independent public results desk. Results shown here are unofficial, may change, and are not a certified final result.
Public methodology
How this results desk works
This page explains how ChuukVotes.org presents unofficial live results, what reporting status means, and how corrections are handled.
How totals are reported
Totals come from unofficial returns entered into ChuukVotes by voting place. Candidate totals are calculated from the saved vote counts for each race.
Multi-seat races
For Senate and House races, voters may choose more than one candidate depending on the seats available. Those race totals are shown as candidate votes or candidate vote selections, not as a count of voters or ballots.
What reporting means
A voting place is counted as reporting after a return is entered and published. If zeros are entered for all candidates, that place is shown as reported with zero votes.
Corrections and changes
When a correction is published, the public pages can update the affected race totals, voting-place totals, percentages, and last-updated time.
How percentages are shown
Race percentages show a candidate share of the race candidate-vote total. Geographic tables can also show a candidate share within that voting place or municipality.
Desk calls
If a race is marked called by this desk, that is an unofficial editorial status based on the visible count. It is not certification.
