Emmet County Board certifies June 2 primary, adopts Resolution 26-18

The Emmet County Board of Supervisors on June 9 formally certified the results of the June 2, 2026 primary election and adopted Resolution 26-18 after a canvass presented by Election Deputy Roxanne Budach.

Budach told the Board that 801 people voted at the polls on election day, 181 absentee ballots were accepted for counting and zero provisional ballots were cast, for a total of 982 votes in the county. The Board unanimously adopted the canvass and certification on a motion by Vice-Chair Tim Schumacher and a second by Todd Glasnapp; the roll call vote was Schumacher—aye, Glasnapp—aye, John Pluth—aye, Jeff Quastad—aye, Lisa Hansen—aye.

The resolution states the canvass was conducted in accordance with §50.24 of the Code of Iowa and that no obvious clerical errors were identified during the canvass. The certification lists winners and vote status by party for federal and state offices located wholly within Emmet County; several local offices had no candidates listed in the record.

Why it matters: certification makes the county’s official vote totals part of the public record, clears the way for final administrative steps in the election process and documents turnout and absentee counts for the June primary.

What’s next: The Board’s certification completes the local canvass process. The minutes show the certification was adopted by unanimous roll call; the record does not indicate any challenges or changes to the canvass at the meeting.
