Roosevelt County commissioners approve 2025 local election canvass; turnout reported at about 20.69%
Summary
The Roosevelt County Board of Commissioners recessed to the Board of Canvas, accepted an elections staff report showing no races required automatic recounts, confirmed 2,332 ballots cast with roughly 20.69% turnout, and approved the county canvass and next steps toward certification.
At its 9 a.m. meeting, the Roosevelt County Board of Commissioners recessed to act as the Board of Canvas and approved the county’s canvass of the 2025 regular local election results, election staff reported.
Elections staff member Mandy told commissioners that no race margins were close enough to trigger an automatic recount and that the county will be notified by the Secretary of State’s office about which precinct to recheck for the routine post‑election verification. “There was nothing close enough, on any of the races, to require an automatic recount,” Mandy said.
Mandy provided precinct and ballot-count details: Dora, 81 ballots; Bridal, 85; Floyd, 72 (one spoiled); Jake Lopez Building, 430 (one spoiled); Memorial Building, 827 (one spoiled); courthouse early voting, 526 tabulator votes with one provisional and three spoils; and an alternate early voting site with 165 votes and no spoils. Absentee processing showed 227 absentee applications and ballots mailed, 147 returned (144 cast on the tabulator and one hand‑tallied UOCAVA/military ballot), and two absentee ballots returned as undeliverable. One provisional ballot was accepted by the absentee board after a precinct boundary clarification.
Staff reported a total of 2,332 ballots cast and said the county’s eligible voter count is 11,270, which yields an overall turnout of about 20.69%, an increase from prior comparable cycles. “We had 16 percent 2 years ago,” Mandy said, noting the county’s turnout improved.
Mandy also reported that all school district bond measures on the ballot passed in the county’s precincts and in some neighboring districts referenced in the presentation. She asked commissioners to remain after the canvass to sign certificates for winning candidates and to request certification of the canvas once the Secretary of State’s office completes any required recheck.
After the presentation, the Board of Canvas adjourned and the Board of Commissioners reconvened. The commission voted to approve the 2025 regular local election canvass report as presented; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote.
Next steps: the county will await notice from the Secretary of State’s office about which precinct(s) will be rechecked as part of the routine post‑election verification. Commissioners were asked to sign certificates for winning candidates and to request formal certification of the canvass when the recheck is complete.
