The council, acting as the Board of Canvassers, received official precinct and tabulation reports from county election staff and certified the results of the municipal primary election.
City clerk Theresa presented county statistics and a precinct breakdown: 13,074 total counted votes (including 1,954 mail/drop ballots and 91 in-person ballots) and an overall turnout of approximately 28.5 percent of active registered voters. The clerk summarized ballots that were challenged or rejected for reasons such as late receipt (185 ballots reportedly received after the administrative deadline) and unsigned or unmatched-return signatures.
Councilmembers discussed process and next steps. One councilmember asked staff to clarify forms language around postmarks and the county's processing rules, which staff agreed to follow up on. After review, a councilmember moved and the council seconded a motion to accept and certify the municipal primary election results; the motion carried by voice vote.
