Midway council formally canvasses election results, accepts final tallies
Summary
Midway City Council reviewed Wasatch County's final election totals for mayoral and council races and voted to canvass and accept the reported results after precinct breakdowns were presented. Council took no further action on contested out‑of‑town tallies.
The Midway City Council acted as the city’s board of canvassers and reviewed final election returns supplied by Wasatch County. Brad, the staff member handling the city's election coordination, presented the totals and precinct breakdowns for the mayoral and council contests.
Brad reported the mayoral result and precinct returns, stating that Craig Simons received roughly three‑quarters of the vote while Miller Thomas Wright received roughly a quarter. He also read council candidate totals by precinct for candidates listed on the ballot. The canvass procedure also reviewed precinct turnout percentages across Midway’s precincts.
A motion to approve the canvass as recorded was made and seconded; the council voted to accept the tallied results without amendment. Council members noted the close race in an adjacent jurisdiction where a tie could trigger an automatic recount or coin toss under election rules, but Midway’s canvass focused solely on the city’s official returns provided by Wasatch County.
The council took no additional action on election procedure at this meeting.
