TL;DR
The Board of Canvassers unanimously certified the Cache County canvass for the Nibley City Council race, officially confirming Randy Lloyd’s election to the 2026–2029 term. The board also reviewed low turnout, 427 undervotes, and a few ballots rejected for signature-verification issues, but no other substantive business was taken up.
Meeting Summary
- The Board of Canvassers reviewed and certified the Cache County election canvass for the Nibley City Council race, confirming the official vote totals and election outcome. The motion to approve the canvass passed unanimously.
- Election results presented showed Troyer Bell with 400 votes, Nick Kinska with 636, Randy Lloyd with 1,025, and Nick DeSalvo with 544. Based on these totals, Randy Lloyd was declared elected to the Nibley City Council for the 2026–2029 term.
- Staff explained the canvass packet included precinct-level statistics, undervotes, and ballot-signature verification issues. There were 427 undervotes, no overvotes, and some ballots were invalidated because signatures could not be verified.
- Discussion noted Nibley had very low voter turnout, with a reminder to residents to use the ballot drop box rather than the post office. It was also mentioned that turnout improved from the lowest to the second-lowest in the county after outreach.
- County ballot handling and timing were discussed, including a late afternoon ballot pickup and a large final batch that delayed results. Staff said the county’s final tabulation arrived later than expected but was completed before the canvass meeting.
- The board formally approved the election results after a motion and second, with all members voting in favor. The certification means the election outcome stands as official.
- No public comments or additional substantive policy items were raised beyond the election canvass discussion. The meeting ended immediately after certification and adjournment.
