The counting of ballots for Smithfield and Cranston is underway this morning at the state Board of Elections.

Mail-in ballots from throughout the state will be counted after those votes are tallied, according to Robert Kando, the state Board of Elections executive director.

No results were available from Smithfield last night because of a printing error on ballots.

In Cranston, results were incomplete. Workers at a polling place at the Santa Maria DiPrata Society on Walnut Grove Avenue, fed the wrong ballots into a voting machine after it failed.
