IMPORTANT!The Election Night Reporting
Application does NOT do math.

• Numbers you enter must be cumulative. Using the
  2002 candidates above as examples, let us assume
  you logged in at 900 pm to report 10 votes for
  Michael Badnarik and 100 votes for George Bush.
  Later at 1000 pm you log in to report 90
  additional votes for Michael Badnarik and 50
  additional votes for George Bush. You must enter
  the total accumulated votes. In this case, you
  would enter 100 votes for Michael Badnarik and
  150 votes for George Bush.
• The same holds true for the precincts reporting.
  If at 900 pm you enter 1 precinct of 125
  reporting and at 1000 pm you have 2 additional
  precincts to report, you will need to enter 3
  precincts reporting. The Election Night
  Reporting application does not do this math.

• The data you have entered is immediately recorded
  in the Idaho Secretary of State's election
  database and is then available for public view.
• If you wish to print your results, click on the
  "Print" button at the lower left corner.
• Once you have finished your data entry session
  please click on Exit to log off.
