Commission certifies primary election canvas; turnout 1,291 of 2,750 registered voters
Summary
Granite County commissioners appointed an alternate canvas member and approved the abstract of the June primary: 1,291 ballots were cast of 2,750 registered voters, several candidate totals were read, and local measures (motor vehicle tax and library mill levy) returned specific yes/no counts.
The Granite County Commission approved the canvas of the 2026 primary election on June 16 after appointing an alternate canvas member to replace an absent commissioner. Sarah Brown, identified in the meeting as the county election administrator, presented the abstract and machine counts and guided commissioners through candidate and ballot-measure totals.
"Of the 2,750 registered voters that we have, we did get ... 1,291 that did vote," the election official said while the commission reviewed the DS450 machine tallies and the transcribed tally sheets. Officials read numerous candidate totals for federal, state and local races and confirmed the counts.
Key results read at the meeting included local-option motor vehicle tax (Yes: 774; No: 491) and the PE Area Library District mill levy (Yes: 486; No: 334). After the tallies were read, a commissioner moved to approve the canvas and that motion was seconded; the chair stated the motion carried and passed and staff were instructed to stamp and sign the papers for filing.
The meeting record indicates the commission completed the required canvas and election paperwork and assigned follow-up tasks for clerical signing and filing.
