MAYOR/COUNCIL STAFF INPUT <br /> Councilmember Johns reported that it appeared the electronic poll books sped up the check in <br /> process at the polling places and she felt the move to these books was a positive. City Clerk <br /> Thieling agreed that it did speed up the check in process, with the average time being 10 <br /> seconds. She added that she received positive feedback from the Election Judges as well as <br /> some from the public. <br /> Councilmember Kuzma mentioned that the initial results of the Primary Election posted on the <br /> Secretary of State's website were incorrect. The numbers posted were correct, but the numbers <br /> did not align with the candidate receiving those votes. City Clerk Thieling responded that the <br /> Anoka County Elections staff had explained that it was a coding issue between the County and <br /> the State and that it was corrected as soon as it was noticed, which was approximately 8:30 p.m. <br /> Councilmember Kuzma stated he was not pleased that this happened and he felt that the Anoka <br /> County Elections Department should issue an apology to the candidates. <br /> 6. ADJOURNMENT <br /> Motion by Councilmember Shryock, seconded by Councilmember Johns to adjourn the meeting. <br /> Motion carried. <br /> The Canvassing Board adjourned at 7:27 p.m. <br /> Canvassing Board Meeting/August 17, 2018 <br /> Page 2 of 3 <br />
