According to state election guidelines, says Pamlico County’s Elections Supervisor, Lisa Bennett, not every write in vote will show up on the final official canvass of this election. “We are only required to list the names of write-ins that received 5 or more votes.” Bennett says, “All other write ins will be reported as miscellaneous.”
For those curious about such miscellany and how those 17 Mayoral write-ins and 156 Commissioner write-ins shook out, here is the listing as provided by the elections office in Bayboro.
