Canvass accepted; Tommy Kent Olsen certified as mayor in Roosevelt canvass
Roosevelt election staff presented the city's canvass and described the ballot processing and verification procedures, provisional and cured ballots, and the post-election audit steps required by the state. Staff said roughly 2,000 (described as "just under 3,000") registered voters were on the rolls, with 1,111 total ballots cast and a turnout of 38.02% in a non-presidential election year.

Staff explained the signature and verification process: ballots are scanned for a barcode that pulls voter profiles and signature matches; voters who did not provide a matching identifier (last four of driver's license or Social Security number) were required to be "cured" by completing an affidavit or appearing in person. The council was told there were 16 ballots that needed curing, three of which were cured by the deadline; a small number of provisional ballots and late-postmarked ballots were not counted after review.

Results presented included the mayoral race (Tommy Kent Olsen 632 votes, 57.66%; opponent 464 votes, 42.34%), contested council seats (vote-for-two totals summarized in the staff presentation) and a local ballot question (referred to in the transcript as the "Zap Tax") that passed with 69.68% in favor (763 yes, 333 no). Staff noted they conducted the state-required audit (state selected two batches) and found no discrepancies in the audited samples.

Following the presentation, the council moved and unanimously accepted the canvass report for the 2025 election year and arranged to sign the final documents as required for the record.
