Election Day: Votes cast in precincts on Election Day
Early Voting: Votes cast in person prior to Election Day
Election Night by Mail: Votes cast by absentee ballot through Election Day
Post Election Night by Mail: Votes cast on absentee ballots postmarked on or before Election Day and received by noon Friday following the election (extended to Monday when the Friday is a holiday).
Provisional: Votes cast on provisional ballots accepted by the Fairfax County Electoral Board.
Hand Count: Absentee ballots by mail that could not be scanned by the digital voting machine. These include ballots emailed to overseas and active military voters, damaged ballots, and ballots with overvotes.
Write-in Totals: Votes cast for candidates whose name the voter wrote in the prescribed space and filled in the corresponding oval
Write-in [name]: The name of the write-in candidate who won a contest.
Not Assigned: Write-in votes not assigned to a candidate who won that contest. If no write-in candidate won, then no votes are assigned to them. This term appears when a write-in candidate won in one of the contests on the ballot. The total of “not assigned” and “write-in [name] equals “write-in totals.”
Overvotes: The number of ballots on which more votes were cast in this contest in this precinct than allowed.
Undervotes: The number of ballots on which no votes were cast in this contest or the number of votes fewer than the maximum allowed (for example, if voting for 3 candidates is permitted for a contest and only two votes were cast).
Contest Totals: The total votes cast.

Write-in votes are transcribed by hand from results reports and tallied by name when the number of write-in candidates for a contest meet or exceed 10% of the total votes cast in that race (Virginia Code §24.2-671). A write-in candidate’s name is only reported in the official results when the Electoral Board certifies that they received enough votes to win the contest.
