Dayton, OH, November 12, 2026 — The Montgomery County Board of Elections is actively engaged in the critical post-election process, working through over 1,100 provisional ballots. These ballots hold the potential to significantly influence the final election results in several races.
Officials have confirmed that the provisional ballots could be decisive, particularly in a closely contested Statehouse race within the county. The board has also undertaken a review of remade absentee ballots as part of its ongoing efforts to ensure all valid votes are accurately tallied.
A specific meeting has been scheduled for November 18, during which the provisional votes will be counted. The outcome of this counting process is anticipated to provide clarity on the final standings for affected races. The number of provisional ballots, exceeding 1,100, underscores the potential for these votes to alter election outcomes.
Further details regarding the specific Statehouse race that may be influenced, or the outcomes of the review of remade absentee ballots, were not immediately available. The board’s focus remains on the methodical and thorough processing and counting of all cast ballots.
