Canvassers reviewed the zero report tapes to verify all totals were zero at the beginning of the night on the tabulation equipment.  Votes cast at the April 7, 2015 Spring Election were verified reviewing the highest number of votes cast is the same or less than the highest numbers of voters reporting on poll lists, and verifying that the number of ballots cast (OS & TSX combined) is the same or less than the highest number of voters on the poll lists.  Inspectors’ Statements and Incident Logs were also reviewed and canvass incidents and adjustments noted.

 

No late provisional ballots were cast on Election Day.

 

Late arriving absentee ballots were canvassed and counted.

 

The following discrepancy was noted:

Town of Washington:  A ballot was issued to a voter in Ward 1 which should have been Ward 2, resulting in the count off by one vote.

 

The following are adjustments noted by the Sauk County Board of Canvassers:
