You asked; we're answering.  
  
Several SLO County residents have asked us for updated ballot return statistics. We pulled from SLO County's election management system (as of this morning) and the Secretary of State's most recent ballot statistics (as of yesterday) to provide the following set of infographics.  
  
Remember that these stats will change slightly as we and the other 57 counties complete the official canvass, which most notably includes:  
\-processing mail ballots postmarked by November 4 that arrived by November 12  
\-researching provisional ballots and conditional registration  
\-allowing voters to cure their missing or mismatched signature  
\-duplicating ballots that are damaged or otherwise unable to be tabulated as is  
  
At 62% turnout currently, SLO County has posted a strong participation rate relative to the statewide average (50%) and is well ahead of Santa Barbara and Ventura (both at 54%) and Monterey (at 49%).  
  
Interestingly, the rate of ballots cast by party affiliation has remained fairly consistent since we started looking at and sharing those stats on October 20th, with a slight decrease in the overall percentage cast by voters registered as Democrats and a slight increase in the overall percentage cast by Republicans.  
  
We'll be tabulating again today and will post an updated Unprocessed Ballots Report at [SloVote.com/November2025](https://slovote.com/November2025) by the end of the day.
