There are a minor subset of votes called.... Provisional Ballots... where the person casting the ballot needs to be fully vetted before his vote is counted in full.... these ballots are left to the end of the counting period and rarely 'make a difference' in who the winner is.. yet can take days themselves to verify if the voter is legit or not.
In some places Military Ballots can arrive weeks after Election day. 'Government efficiency' - don't ya know'..
