CARBONDALE — — According to Garfield County Clerk Jean Alberico’s office, 1,513 ballots have been turned in as of Friday afternoon in the Jan. 31 special election over the fate of the Village at Crystal River development in Carbondale.
That amounts to roughly 52 percent of the 2,877 registered voters in Carbondale’s three precincts, according to Carbondale Town Clerk Cathy Derby.
While it is likely that results will be available on election night, Alberico said on Friday that if the vote split is close, the final result may not be known for more than a week afterward.
But Alberico said, “If it’s close, we’re not going to know until eight days after the election.”
She said already some ballots have been rejected for signature discrepancies, meaning either there was no signature on the ballot envelope or the signature did not match with records kept in the courthouse.
