Black Hawk County canvass certifies Waterloo and Cedar Falls runoff results
Summary
At a county canvass meeting Dec. 2, officials read precinct-level tallies, confirmed there were no provisional ballots, and adopted a resolution certifying the Waterloo and Cedar Falls runoff election results; signatures for the certification will be collected next week.
Black Hawk County officials at a canvass meeting certified the results of the Waterloo and Cedar Falls runoff elections held 12/02/2025 after reading precinct-level vote totals and confirming no provisional ballots were counted.
County canvassers read precinct and ward subtotals aloud, including center-level and ward-level figures and counts of undervotes and overvotes, and then summarized final totals to be included in the certification. A county speaker noted explicitly that "there were no provisionals to be counted or rejected." The canvass proceeded under the authority cited during the meeting of Iowa Code subsection 376.92.
A motion to adopt a resolution to certify the canvass was moved and seconded and passed by voice vote. Staff discussed logistical steps for completing the paperwork: two members were not present and signatures will be collected next week; staff said it may be acceptable to use an electronic signature or a stamp on the paperwork if required.
The meeting concluded after the certification and routine adjournment motions were approved.
Next steps: signatures on the certification documents will be collected as arranged by staff; no further votes on the certified results were recorded at the meeting.
