Summary
The Belgrade School Board unanimously approved canvassing of the Nov. 5, 2024 election results, reporting about 75.7% turnout and that the land-exchange measure passed by roughly 69%–31%; the certification was recorded per the county election administrator's certification.
The Belgrade School Board voted to canvass and approve the Nov. 5, 2024 election results after staff presented certified tallies. Didi (speaker 1) told the board the turnout for the ballot item was 75.67% (19,442 voters) and said the measure won by about 69% to 31%.
According to the motion read into the record, the canvass and certification were made “as certified by county election administrator Eric Semerat.” Board member (speaker 3) moved the canvass and approval; the motion was seconded and carried 6 to nothing.
Why it matters: Certification is the formal step that finalizes local election results and makes them part of the official record. The board did not take additional action beyond canvassing the certified results and then moved on to the next agenda item.
The meeting record shows the board approved the canvass by voice vote and entered the result into the minutes. The board then proceeded to the next business item.
