Election officials are calling it a smooth and successful Election Day, with no major issues reported.
Officials at the Erie County Voter Registration Office estimate voter turnout was around 50 percent.
The day started early for election workers and volunteers, who arrived at 6:30 a.m. and worked until 11 p.m.
About twenty election office volunteers helped count mail-in ballots that were received before Election Day.
After polls closed, student volunteers served as valets, helping judges of elections unload equipment and voting machines as they returned from polling locations. Officials said all precincts were accounted for by the end of the night.
Election officials also reported seeing more poll watchers this year compared to last year. Democrats had 140 poll watchers, while Republicans had 41.
While Election Day is over, the work is not finished. Over the next several days, officials will continue counting military ballots, provisional ballots and any damaged ballots.
The election results are scheduled to be certified on November 19.
