Brown County canvasses provisionals, approves final election report showing 947 ballots and 14.2% turnout
Summary
The commission recessed to canvass provisional ballots from the Nov. 4 election, accepted 9 provisional ballots and rejected 2 for registration issues, then approved a final election report listing 947 total ballots cast and 14.2% turnout.
Brown County commissioners recessed regular session to canvass provisional ballots from the Nov. 4 election and approved the final election report.
During the canvass, election staff explained that most provisional ballots presented were counted after verification; two provisionals were not counted because the voters were not registered in the county. An election official (unidentified in the transcript but speaking as the elections officer) described the handling: staff opened provisional envelopes, verified the certificates, and tallied ballots by race for the final report.
After counting, a commissioner moved to approve the final election report, which recorded 947 ballots cast and a voter turnout of 14.2 percent; the motion carried by voice vote. The commission then reconvened the regular meeting.
Next steps: election staff will finalize the official election documentation and file certified results.
