Potter County commissioners unanimously declare canvas of Nov. 4 election returns
Summary
At a special meeting Nov. 14, the Potter County Commissioner's Court authorized the official canvass of Nov. 4 election returns and confirmed the county’s totals; the motion passed by a 4-0 vote and a routine hand-count audit was scheduled for next week.
The Potter County Commissioner's Court met in a special session at 9 a.m. on Nov. 14, 2025 and voted to declare the canvas of returns from the Nov. 4 election. The Chair called for the motion, asked for votes, and announced the measure passed unanimously.
Chair said, "All in favor, raise your hand," and later stated, "same sign that passes 4 to 0." The court's action formally affirms the county's tabulated totals and completes the local canvass required under state election procedures.
Commission staff had walked the court through reconciliation and canvas reports before the vote, explaining how V-drive tabulations, poll-pad rosters and absentee/limited ballot rosters matched the final totals. Commissioners thanked elections staff for their work and proceeded to the routine procedural step of formally declaring the returns.
The court adjourned after the unanimous vote; staff also outlined the schedule for the routine post-election hand-count audit to be held next week, which commissioners said they would observe as part of the verification process.
