After the final precinct turned in its count, the board of elections realized that 155 early ballots from 3 three precincts were not counted -- and they were supposed to be counted at the precincts along with Saturday's votes. These 155 ballots have now been counted and are included in the count above.

Kanawha County Clerk Vera McCormick says that more than 500 provisional votes still need to be counted. These will be counted during the vote canvass, where the election results are certified, on August 17th. After the completion of the canvass, anyone can ask for a recount within 48 hours. The cost for calling for a recount is $300.

WHAT IS A PROVISIONAL VOTE? According to McCormick, these votes are consider provisional, or contested:
- Vote casted by a voter at a precinct that is not his/her correct precinct.
- Vote cast by a voter at the correct precinct, but the voter had moved and didn't update his/her address with the board of elections.
- Vote cast by a poll worker who did not participate in early voting and voted where he/she worked, not his/her correct precinct.

McCormick says Saturday's election was the largest turnout for a special election in Kanawha County history.

INFORMATION ABOUT TODAY'S ELECTION:
By: Associated Press
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - Kanawha County voters are going to the polls today to decide if poker, blackjack and other table games should be allowed at Tri-State Racetrack and Gaming Center.

County Clerk Vera McCormick says turnout has been high, particularly in areas near the Nitro track. Before the election, McCormick was expecting perhaps 25 percent turnout, but now she says it's likely to be higher.

The special election caps a multiyear campaign pitting the state's four tracks against antigambling.

The tracks' parent companies argue the new games will help them blunt competition from surrounding states. Slot casinos began opening in Pennsylvania late last year.

Kanawha is the fourth and final county to vote on table games.

Voters in Ohio County approved table games for Wheeling Island Racetrack and Gaming Center in June. And Hancock County voted in favor of table games for Mountaineer Race Track and Gaming Resort in June as well.

Jefferson County, however, rejected the games for Penn National Gaming subsidiary Charles Town Races and Slots.
