Lyon County finished its election audit Monday afternoon and sent the results to the Kansas Secretary of State’s office for approval.
Election officer Amie Jones said all the original numbers from election night matched the election audit, which means she and her staff are just waiting for the Secretary of State’s confirmation so they can move forward with the canvass on Thursday.
The canvass process will start at 11 a.m. and run for a couple hours before final results are ready to be made available to the public that same day.
The only thing that would push the canvass back, Jones said, would be the state not approving the audit’s results, which Jones said is unlikely.
Though voter turnout was only at 55%– a number quite a bit lower than Jones would have hoped– she said she’s still proud of those who turned up to the polls last week.
