Canvassing Board Meeting Certification of the February 11, 2014 Special Election Date: February 25, 2014 Meeting began: 3:05 p.m. In attendance: Debbie Adelstein, (Canvassing Board Member) Royce Buckingham, Civil Prosecuting Attorney (Canvassing Board Member) Sam Crawford, County Council Member (Canvassing Board Member) Diana Bradrick, Chief Deputy Auditor Matt Shepherd, Auditor Staff Amy Grasher, Auditor Staff Nancy Moore, Auditor Staff Judy Mullenix, Democratic Party Observer Randy Elmore, Republican Party Observer Debbie Adelstein called the meeting to order at 3:05 p.m. and declared the purpose of the meeting was to certify the February 11, 2014 Special Election. Sam Crawford gave the Oath of Auditor to Debbie Adelstein; Debbie signed the Oath and Sam and Royce Buckingham signed as witnesses. Amy presented and reviewed the Whatcom County Canvassing Ballot Reconciliation. She explained there was a difference of one ballot from the total number of ballots expected to be counted and the total number actually counted. Amy stated that the ballot envelope was scanned in and the voter was credited for voting. When the secrecy envelopes were removed from the green return ballot envelopes and the secrecy envelopes were opened, it was discovered there was no ballot in one of the secrecy envelopes, explaining the one ballot difference. Amy presented the Certification Reconciliation Report required by the state. The number of ballots counted matched the number of ballot envelopes received with 100% accuracy. Sam made a motion to reject the challenged ballots; the motion passed unanimously. Matt Shepherd presented the Official Summary Report. He then presented the precinct abstract report that contains detailed information regarding votes in each precinct. Sam made a motion to accept the reports presented and to certify the election; the motion passed unanimously. Nancy Moore presented the following certifications to the Canvassing Board 1) Ferndale School District 501, Proposition No. 2014-1, General Obligation Bonds - $125,000,000 (Proposition Failed; 60% approval required, 31.43% Yes received) 2) Lynden School District 504, Proposition No. 2014-1, General Obligation Bonds - $46,000,000 (Proposition Failed; 60% approval required, 56.92% Yes vote received) Debbie, Sam, and Royce signed the aforementioned certifications. Diana Bradrick gave a brief synopsis of the discussion that occurred at the February 20 Canvassing Board meeting regarding how voter signature challenge letters are processed upon their return. A question arose regarding what to do if the returned challenge letter and ballot signatures do not match. Upon researching the question with the Secretary of State and other counties, Diana discovered that some options were available for next steps: contact the voter, send a replacement ballot, or leave the ballot in a challenged status. Discussion ensued among the Canvassing Board about implementing a new voter signature challenge letter protocol. It was the consensus that time allowing, the voter should be put on notice regarding the mismatched signatures and advise the voter of options for acquiring a replacement ballot. It was also decided that the signature challenge letter should state that the voter's signature will be used as an updated signature. Royce made a motion to develop a notice letter and to modify the voter signature challenge letter with the above stated changes; the motion was unanimous. It was further agreed upon that Diana Bradrick will write a policy and procedure covering the topic and formal adoption of the policy will occur at a future Canvassing Board meeting.
