State Canvassing Board certifies June Primary results

(KNOX) – The June Primary results are official.

The State Canvassing Board certified the 2024 Primary Election results today, making them official for state, judicial, and legislative contests. Election results were submitted by the 53 county canvassing boards, which are responsible for reviewing the election results from each precinct within their county. In addition to reviewing election results for all contests on the ballot, county canvassing boards are required to certify their county contests 13 days after election day.

The Republican nomination for the state House of Representatives in District 26 meets the threshold for a demand recount. In that district, Kelby Timmons can request a recount within four days of the state canvassing board meeting.

State canvassing board members include Secretary of State Michael Howe, State Treasurer Thomas Beadle, Clerk of the North Dakota Supreme Court Petra Mandigo Hulm, and the state committee chairs of political parties on the ballot, represented by Sandi Sanford – Republican Party, and Signe Snortland (representing Adam Goldwyn) – Democratic-NPL Party.
