Meeting Information
Election Canvass
The Board of County Commissioners of Douglas County met in special session with Commissioner McElhaney present. Commissioners Johnson and Jones were absent.
McElhaney appointed Kay Pesnell, Register of Deeds, and Marion Johnson, County Appraiser, to serve as a canvassers in the absence of Commissioners Johnson and Jones.
The purpose of the special meeting was to canvass the results of the Primary Election which was held on Tuesday, August 6, 2002.
There were one hundred eight-five (185) provisional ballots. Patty Jaimes, County Clerk, recommended that one hundred fifty-two (152) of which be counted. These were voters that either moved and failed to re-register or had a name change. Jaimes then recommended that the remaining thirty-three (33) not be counted due to new registrants or no signatures. McElhaney made a motion that Ms. Jaimes recommendations be approved; Marion Johnson seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
It should be noted that after the additional ballots were counted, the election results were not changed and no errors were found.
McElhaney made a motion to adjourn; Johnson seconded and the motion carried.
