Washington County will release an extra round of unofficial election results Tuesday, Nov. 10, at 4 p.m., with about 28,000 ballots still left to count.

The county cited "public interest surrounding several close races" as the reason for the additional update, according to a posting schedule published on its website. The county did not name which races it considers close.

Locally, several Tigard and Tualatin contests remain unsettled. Those races could shift as the remaining ballots are processed.

Among the uncounted ballots are thousands of "challenged ballots" with missing signatures, signature mismatches or other issues that prevent them from being tallied, the county said. The county did not specify how many of the 28,000 fall into that category.

Voters whose ballots were challenged should expect notification letters in the mail. Those voters have until Nov. 24 to contact the Elections Office and resolve the issues so their ballots can be included in the final count.

Results schedule through certification

After the Nov. 10 update, the county will post unofficial results at 4 p.m. on Nov. 13, Nov. 20 and Nov. 27. Certified final results are set for Nov. 30 at 4 p.m.

What's at stake locally

As we reported Nov. 7, the Tigard City Council race remains tight. Sue Garino led with 17.5% of the vote in initial returns, followed by Kate Ristau at 17.2% and Gabriel Elijio Velásquez at 15.8%, according to Your Oregon News. Three seats are open among eight candidates.

The Tigard mayor's race showed a wider gap. Yi-Kang Hu held 62.6% of the vote to challenger Bill Monahan's 37.1% as of midnight Nov. 4, Your Oregon News reported.

Hu was appointed mayor from his council seat in October 2025 after former Mayor Heidi Lueb resigned.

In Tualatin, Valerie Pratt led the mayor's race with 65.4% to Octavio Gonzalez's 34.4% as of 10 p.m. Nov. 3, according to Your Oregon News. Both are sitting Tualatin City Council members.

How to fix a challenged ballot

Voters who receive a notification letter can respond to the Washington County Elections Office before Nov. 24. Election resources are available at WashCoVotes.org.
