LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — The Las Vegas City Council on Friday approved the certification of canvassed election returns for the Nov. 3 municipal general election during a special meeting.
Mayor Pro Tem moved to approve the item, and the mayor announced that the motion carried.
Sabra Newby, deputy city manager and acting clerk for the City of Las Vegas, presented the canvass results to the council. She said the city had 423,264 active registered voters and that 212,826 ballots were cast, a 50.28% turnout.
Newby said 104,647 voters, or 24.72%, voted by mail. She said 65,948 voters, or 15.58%, voted during the early voting period. She said 41,094 voters, or about 9.71%, voted at vote centers on Election Day.
Newby said the Registrar of Voters identified 74 discrepancies among the 212,826 ballots cast. She said seven voters left the voting machine before casting a ballot, 46 voted in the wrong precinct or submitted mail ballot cards, and there were 21 reactivation errors.
She said there were no tabulation errors in the 237 precincts in the general election.
Newby said 1,244 provisional ballots were cast. She said 1,137 were verified and counted, and 107 were not accepted.
Newby said audits of the hash code of the tabulator machines and of the voter-verified paper audit trail were performed according to Nevada Revised Statutes and the Nevada Administrative Code. She said no discrepancies were identified.
She said the Accuracy Certification Board certified the functionality of the tabulation system, including mail ballot readers and the Agilis mail ballot processing machine. Newby said all systems were found to be 100% accurate in tabulating votes and processing mail ballots.
According to Newby, tests were performed before early voting began, the day before Election Day and the day after the election.
Newby asked the council to certify the results, which she said “reflect the voice of our constituents and uphold the integrity of our electoral process.”
Council member Kelly also thanked Newby for her work as acting clerk, “I want to acknowledge your continued commitment to the city and making sure that we have free and fair elections.”
