The Dickinson City Council on a unanimous voice vote approved a resolution canvassing the returns and declaring the results of the general election held May 2, 2026 to elect a mayor and councilmembers for positions 1, 3 and 5. A motion to approve was made and seconded and the presiding officer called for the vote; council voice votes were recorded as "Aye" and the motion passed.
The action formalized the outcomes of the May 2 election and was listed on the meeting agenda as Item 3(a). No public comment was taken on the canvass; council proceeded directly from quorum certification to consideration of action items. The presiding officer confirmed the motion and announced, "Motion passed." The council did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript beyond the motion and the result being announced.
