Understand Election Outcomes

What to Expect Once Votes Are Cast

Election Day is not “results day.” It takes time to count all the votes and if results are not known within 24 hours, it means the system is working to ensure accuracy. While many states have made changes to improve their vote-counting process, results in some states may still take days to count from Election Day. Remember, accuracy takes time and democracy is worth the wait.

Allow Time and Space for Processing

While some will want to debrief the election immediately, others might be tired of talking politics. The results of the election will impact campus community members differently, and it is important to acknowledge the tense or sensitive time for all members of our Titan community. You can decide when you want to engage while being respectful of others' choices.

Cal State Fullerton is an institution in which diverse perspectives from all sides of every issue are explored in an educational environment.
