nonfullycounted

Nonfullycounted is an adjective used to describe data, results, or items that have not been completely tallied, verified, or finalized. The term is commonly applied in contexts where counting is ongoing or subject to revision, such as in election reporting, census or survey processing, and production or inventory counting. In election coverage, nonfullycounted ballots include provisional, absentee, or late-arriving ballots that have not yet been added to the official tally. In data management, nonfullycounted counts may reflect pending data submissions, incomplete data streams, or items awaiting reconciliation.

Nonfullycounted results introduce uncertainty and are typically followed by revisions as counts are completed. Reporting norms distinguish provisional or partial counts from final tallies. Systems may label data as nonfullycounted to indicate that final numbers are not yet available, guiding interpretation and decisions. Related concepts include undercount, provisional data, and data imputation, though nonfullycounted emphasizes the state of the counting process rather than data quality. The term is neutral and descriptive, intended to describe a status rather than to assign value judgments.
