14. Schedule Board of Canvass meetingSCHEDULE SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING TO CANVASS THE
NOVEMBER 3, 2020 ELECTION RESULTS
Mayor and City Council Members,
The message below explains the narrow window in which the City Council may meet as the
Board of Canvass to canvass (certify) the results of the November 3, 2020 election.
Hello Clerks,
Due to a consent decree that came out of a lawsuit, we must accept absentee ballots that are
postmarked by Election Day for seven days after Election Day. This has us accepting and counting ballots
through Tuesday, November 10th.
This means that we will not have abstracts prepared for you to canvass until the morning of November
12. We would encourage you to schedule your canvass after Noon on November 12th or on November
13th.
Again, you CANNOT canvass election results for the 2020 General Election until November 12 th or 13th.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
Best,
Nicole Freeman
Elections Coordinator
