5.a
Action to be considered:
Accept the 2024 Municipal Election results and direct the City Clerk to certify the election
results to the County Auditor.
Motion Type:
Approve
Background:
The city expects that Scott County will provide canvassing reports no later than the
afternoon of Wednesday, November 13, 2024. These reports will be delivered via email to
the council and made available on the agenda website.
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
I will send the attachments once I receive them from the county.
Recommendation:
Accept the 2024 Municipal Election results and direct the City Clerk to certify the election
results to the County Auditor.
