Annapolis election officials will conduct a full hand count of ballots from the 2025 primary after a data entry error misreported totals in one ward, the city of Annapolis said.

The error was identified and corrected during the official canvass, and the certified results accurately reflect the votes cast, the city said.

The hand count will include both in-person and mail-in/drop box ballots and is meant to verify the already certified results.
