Tiverton is still awaiting totals from approximately 515 mail-in ballots before official results can be called in its Town Council, School Committee and Budget Committee races.

According to the State Board of Elections, the results of the counts from mail-in ballots across Rhode Island will not be released until Thursday afternoon. The board originally promised the numbers by close-of-business on Wednesday. About 18,000 ballots were counted and certified prior to Election Day, but state law prohibits counting until polls are opened. The sheer volume is delaying the count despite using four counting machines to process the ballots.

These 515 or so ballots could potentially skew results in Tiverton's local races. The biggest potential for upset lies within the Tiverton Budget Committee's unofficial results. A mere 18 votes separates bottom vote-getter Madeline O'Dell from opponent and seventh in total votes, Robert Hayden. There are 84 votes between Hayden and eighth place vote-getter Mark R. Larson. 

Tiverton Town Council results cite 116 votes separating Councilman-elect William P. Gerlach and eighth place vote-getter Renee DeJesus Jones. On the School Committee side there is less potential for a late lineup change, as 283 votes separate third place voter-getter Jerome Larkin and fourth place candidate Susan Anderson.

Little Compton only had 225 applications for mail-in ballots this year, the results will probably not impact the unofficial tallies below.
