Summary
After completing precinct reviews and a hand count, the Randolph County Commission voted to declare primary election results at 10:45 a.m. and County Clerk Brenda Wiseman said the declaration starts the 48-hour period for recount requests.
After completing ballot reviews and the hand count of Precinct 24, Commissioner Chris Siler moved to declare the results of the May 12, 2026 Primary Election; the motion passed unanimously at 10:45 a.m. The declaration is the formal canvass action that advances the results pending any recount requests.
County Clerk Brenda Wiseman explained, "this will begin the 48 hour period for a recount," and added that the Commission will have to meet again to certify the results after neighboring counties complete their canvass steps. The clerk's statement ties the declaration to the statutory window for recount petitions and explains the next administrative steps for certification.
