Mitchell County supervisors adopt resolution certifying June 2 primary election results
Summary
The board adopted Resolution 1364‑26 certifying turnout and results of the June 2, 2026 primary election, reporting 1,175 total voters — including 166 absentee ballots and four provisional ballots accepted for counting — and stating no obvious clerical errors were identified during the canvass.
The Mitchell County Board of Supervisors unanimously adopted Resolution 1364‑26 on June 9 certifying the results of the June 2, 2026 primary election.
Clerk read the canvass details into the record: 1,175 people voted in the primary; 166 absentee ballots were accepted for county counting and four provisional ballots were accepted. The clerk said the canvass found "no obvious clerical errors" during its review and then moved the resolution for adoption.
The readout included nominations for county offices on the primary ballot: Board of Supervisors candidates for District 1 included Todd Perry (Democratic Party) and Dean J. Beth (Republican Party); other county candidates named in the canvass included Nathan Hale for Board of Supervisors District 3, Shannon D. Palace for County Treasurer and Hannah Elliot for County Recorder (party affiliations were read as part of the clerk’s statement). The clerk also explained the reasons for the provisional ballots accepted — two related to new addresses, two related to late registrations — and noted one absentee ballot was returned after the deadline and could not be counted.
Supervisors approved the resolution by roll call. The board also discussed the county’s process for taking ballots to nursing homes and hospitals during elections and confirmed that election staff will continue to schedule visit times and verify addresses before assisting residents to vote.
Resolution 1364‑26 was entered into the record and the board moved to adjourn at 9:08 a.m.
