BEND, Ore. (KTVZ)-- Last-minute ballots continue to be returned by Deschutes County voters in the ballot box in front of the Deschutes County Clerk's office. 8 P.M. is the final deadline for voters still needing to return their ballot.

Deschutes County Clerk Steve Dennison says he's still hopeful voter turnout will increase by the end of the night, as the county has been down by 20% compared to this time in the last presidential election.

Results will begin being released shortly after 8 P.M. and will continue throughout the night. Catch our and NBC's Election Night updates on our home page, as well as our digital-only updates and the full results and our election chat in our Voters Guide.
