Summary
Elections staff told the commissioners the county received 2,473 mail ballots (unofficial) and will meet at 9 a.m. the next day to canvass and adjudicate about 40 provisional and write‑in ballots; staff described the adjudication and challenge process.
Elections staff reported that 2,473 mail ballots had been returned to the county (unofficial totals) and said turnout was roughly 18 percent at the recent election. The board set a 9 a.m. meeting the following morning to canvass returns and begin provisional and write‑in adjudication.
The elections staff member explained the adjudication process: election workers will transcribe write‑in text verbatim into records and present those transcripts to the board; any candidate challenges would proceed to the courts within the five‑day challenge window. The staff member said there were about 40 provisional ballots and multiple write‑in entries to review.
Staff also thanked poll workers and new hires for their work on the election and asked anyone who expected to be a poll worker but did not receive a call to reach out to the office.
What’s next: The board will convene at 9:00 a.m. the next day to begin provisional adjudication and final canvass; once adjudication is complete, any challenges must be filed in court within the statutory window.
