State certifies general election votes
Voter turnout across the state came to 56.8%, and 44,285 Idahoans registered to vote on Election Day
The Idaho State Board of Canvassers voted 3-0 Wednesday to certify the results of the state’s general election. As part of the canvass and certification, the State Board of Canvassers met at the Idaho State Capitol, received a report from the Secretary of State’s Office and was presented with election data and results from every precinct in the state. Prior to certifying election results, the State Board of Canvassers also reviewed findings from audits of election results from eight Idaho counties. None of the legislative or statewide races were changed as a result of the audit or canvass. Additionally, no statewide or legislative races were within .1% or five votes, which is the threshold in Idaho law to qualify for a free recount.
