After counting 2,430 ballots Thursday, the board of elections didn't give an update on vote totals, but it will today when the rest of the ballots are counted.
The board's next task after today will be counting provisional ballots, which voters cast at the polls if their registration was in doubt.
Election data says 471 provisional ballots were cast at the county's 50 precincts. They will be counted Monday.
Some absentee ballots were put aside Thursday. Half will be counted with provisional ballots Monday. The other half will be counted Nov. 17, along with absentee ballots that were postmarked before Election Day but hadn't arrived by Thursday.
The board issued about 4,060 absentee ballots. About 450 hadn't been returned by Thursday.
Board members examined absentee ballots and envelopes Thursday to see if they were postmarked on time, signed and properly marked.
In some cases, board members copied ballots over when voters' intentions were clear but they didn't properly mark their ballots.
From there, ballots were fed, one at a time, into two optical scanning machines.

What's new: The Washington County Board of Elections counted about two-thirds of the absentee ballots Thursday.
What's next: The board will count the rest of that batch today - except for a small group to be counted next week, along with absentee ballots that hadn't reached the board's office by Thursday. Next week, the board also will count provisional ballots, which were cast at the polls by voters whose registration was in doubt.
