FROM STAFF REPORTS
The Iredell County Board of Elections on Friday certified the results of the November 7 municipal elections in Iredell County and the Mooresville Graded School District election.
During Friday’s official canvass, board members agreed that 28 supplemental ballots and 11 provisional ballots should be counted. The supplemental ballots consisted of 28 mail-in ballots, and the provisional 11 ballots were cast on election day by voters who were not in the registration book, voted in the wrong precinct or did not have ID.
After those ballots were processed, the board reviewed the final results and voted unanimously to accept them.
The additional ballots did not change the outcome of any races.
However, Troutman council member George Harris, who finished third in a four-candidate race for two seats, picked up three votes. As a result, in the final tally Harris trailed Nicholas Jaroszynski by 144 votes to 143. Harris has five days to request a recount.
Meanwhile, in Harmony, three write-in candidates — Brandan Ange, Chris Pierce and Jared Clark — were officially elected along with Scotty Harris, who was the top-vote getter among four candidates on the ballot.
A total of 6,084 out of 44,252 eligible voters cast ballots.
