DCBOE Launches Hotline and Website for Special Ballot Information
Post-Election Audit Lottery Scheduled for May 8

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Voters who cast provisional ballots in the April 28 Special Election for Ward 4 and Ward 8 Members of the Council may call the District of Columbia Board of Elections (DCBOE) at (866) 328-6837 to determine the status of their ballots. Voters may also access information about the status of their ballot at the following link: https://www.dcboee.org/voter_info/special_ballot/index.asp. The next phase of the process is the random lottery drawing of the precincts and contests that will be manually audited. This drawing will be held on Friday, May 8, 2015, at 4:45pm in Room 280N (DCBOE Board Hearing Room). The date for the audit itself will be announced at that time. DCBOE completes an audit before certifying the outcome of the election. The random selection must include at least one precinct from each ward. Both events are open to the public. To attend, please contact Denise Tolliver at (202)727-2511 or dtolliver@dcboee.org.
