The Summit County Council meeting on September 6, 2023, focused on the recent municipal primary election and the efforts of the county clerk's office. Council members expressed their appreciation for the organization and competence of the clerk's team, highlighting the importance of elections in fostering public confidence.

Council member Jenna Young shared her experience as a poll worker, commending the clerk's office for its effective management and urging community members to volunteer in future elections to better understand the voting process. Another council member echoed this sentiment, recalling their own positive experience working with the clerk's office before joining the council.

The meeting also provided updates on the municipal primary results, which included elections for Park City, Colville, and South Summit Fire. While the turnout was lower than for federal elections, officials noted that voters who participated were well-informed about their choices.

The clerk's office reported that approximately 1% of voters cast their ballots in person, with a balanced distribution between mail-in ballots and drop box submissions. It was noted that many voters waited until the last minute to submit their ballots, with around 1,500 ballots counted from the final days leading up to the election.

Looking ahead, the council anticipates finalizing the election results on September 19, 2023, during a canvassing meeting with respective boards. The discussions underscored the ongoing commitment of the council and clerk's office to ensure transparent and efficient elections in Summit County.
