Pima County had an estimated 10,000 ballots remaining to be counted from Tuesday's election, including early ballots brought to the polls on Election Day.
The county elections office said in a Wednesday press release that it had about 20,000 to go, and later in the day posted results from about 10,000 of those. There was no early word Thursday on when the count would be completed.
An estimated 175,000 voters cast ballots for Tuesday's election, including about 142,000 early ballots. The county on election night counted 126,000 early ballots that had been mailed or turned in before Election Day.
Those turned in on Election Day had to be verified by the county recorder's staff before being sent to the Elections Department for counting.
After an initial posting of results from the early ballots Tuesday night, the count bogged down in what county Elections Director Brad Nelson called problems with new software.
It was the latest in a series of problems that have delayed Pima County election results over the years.
