vote tally

Election results total

A vote tally is the count of votes cast in an election or other decision-making process.

The phrase emphasizes the numerical result: The final vote tally showed a narrow margin of victory.

Tally alone often suffices, but vote tally specifies what's being counted when context doesn't make it obvious.
