The electromagnetic structure of the deuteron can be studied through the measurement of polarization observables in elastic electron deuteron scattering. Experiment E94018 measured d(e,e\vecd) in Hall C at Jefferson Lab in 1997. In the experiment the tensor polarizations (t_20, t_21, and t_22) of the recoil deuterons were measured using the p(\vecd,2p)n charge exchange reaction as an analyzer. The deuteron electromagnetic form factors, G_C and G_Q, can be separated by using the extracted t_20(G_C,G_Q,G_M) values combined with the deuteron structure functions A(G_C,G_Q,G_M) and B(G_M). Updated results from the analysis will be presented.
