Dickinson County reports 17.91% turnout; canvass scheduled for next Thursday
Summary
Elections staff reported 2,481 ballots cast from 13,854 registered voters (17.91% turnout) and set the official canvass meeting for next Thursday at 8 a.m. to review provisional ballots and finalize results.
Elections staff reported turnout and procedural timing for the recent general election. "We have 13,854 registered voters. As of yesterday, we had 2,481 ballots cast and total turnout of 17.91%," the elections official said, and pointed the public to the county website for full results.
Staff said the board must canvas results on or before a statutory deadline and scheduled that canvas meeting for next Thursday at 8 a.m. to review provisional ballots and finalize the results. The elections office noted website navigation issues for some users and is working with the web vendor to fix a link that incorrectly directs users to a login page; the elections results are accessible via a link further down the page.
The county reminded the public that canvass meetings are open to observers but not for public question-and-answer or discussion; staff said observers may watch the process and that in close races there is often more public interest.
