The Ellis County Clerk's Office has set the canvass for 8:30 a.m. Monday, Nov. 16 in the Ellis County Commission room in the basement of the administration center.

The county's election results are not official until after the canvass.

County Clerk Bobbi Dreiling said on election night that she had received about 175 provisional ballots that will be considered during the canvass.

Mail ballots had to be postmarked by Election Day, but can be received until Friday. Those ballots will also be considered during the canvass.

The Ellis County Clerk as well as election officials across the state are engaged in that audit now.

Voter turnout in Ellis County was 51.51% or 10,721 of the 20,815 registered voters in the county.
