TO: Mayor and Council Members
Subject:
Canvass 2018 Municipal Election Results
Policy/Action Requested:
Accept the 2018 Municipal Election results and direct the City Clerk to certify the election
results to the County Auditor.
Recommendation:
Discussion:
The steps to canvass the results are:
• the clerk prepares a canvassing report (abstract) to accumulate results from multiple
precincts; this report may be available from the state Election Reporting System
(ERS)
• the canvass board publicly canvasses the election returns by reviewing the abstract and
write-in reports
• the board may ask to examine summary statements before it declares the results;
• when satisfied that the abstract reports are correct, the board signs the abstracts and
they become the official results;
• in the case of a tie vote, the canvassing board determines the winner by lot;
• errors by election judges in counting may be corrected by following specific procedures
as prescribed by law. M.S. 204C.38; 204C.39; 205.185
