Canvassing board swears to 'canvass the votes... fairly and impartially' before certifying results
Summary
At its Nov. 13 meeting the district canvassing board recited the statutory canvassing oath, recorded the date of sworn certification, and subscribed the oath before the clerk as part of routine canvass procedures.
Before taking action to certify vote totals, the district’s canvassing board recited the sworn canvassing oath required by statute and recorded the oath in the meeting record on Nov. 13, 2025. The oath affirms support for the U.S. and Minnesota constitutions and includes a pledge to canvass the votes fairly and impartially for the operating-levy authorization.
The oath was subscribed and sworn before the school board clerk at the meeting. The procedural record in the abstract and resolution indicates the board followed the typical canvassing steps — oath, review of the abstract of votes, and adoption of a resolution to certify and direct clerical reporting — but the transcript does not show further debate or public comment on the results.
