Summary
On June 9 the Clinton County Board of Supervisors canvassed and certified the June 2, 2026 Primary Election results after a precinct-by-precinct review by County Auditor David Troester; the transcript notes one provisional ballot rejected, five absentee ballots received after the statutory deadline and one Safe at Home absentee accepted after Election Day.
The Clinton County Board of Supervisors certified the official results of the June 2, 2026 Primary Election during its June 9 meeting after a precinct-by-precinct canvass conducted by County Auditor David Troester.
Troester presented precinct tally records, voting system reports and official records for comparison to verify vote totals and identify any data-entry discrepancies. Following the review, the Board accepted and certified the results and directed that the certified results be transmitted to the Iowa Secretary of State in accordance with Iowa law.
The transcript records that the ASVP Board reported the rejection of one provisional ballot due to insufficient voter verification and noted the receipt of five absentee ballots after the statutory deadline. It also records that one eligible Safe at Home absentee ballot received after Election Day was accepted in accordance with state law. The transcript does not specify the final disposition of the five absentee ballots received after the statutory deadline beyond noting their receipt.
The Board’s certification concludes the county-level canvass process and initiates transmission of the certified results to the state. No formal tally or roll-call vote for the certification is recorded in the transcript; the certification is described as accepted and directed for transmittal to the Iowa Secretary of State.
The Board adjourned to meet next on June 15, 2026.
