<div>Election canvassing for Mingo County’s Nov. 3 general election was held and completed on Monday, Nov. 5, with the outcome of all races remaining unchanged, according to the Mingo County Clerk’s Office.However, officials said the results cannot be officially certified until all the state’s 55 counties have completed the canvassing process, per the West Virginia Secretary of State Office.Canvassing was conducted by the Mingo County Election Board, which met the mandated post-election seven days required before canvassing can be conducted.According to Mingo County Clerk Larry “Yogi” Croaff, the canvass began at 1 p.m., at which time the clerk’s office presented the unofficial election night voting totals to the MCEB, as well as all the provisional and mail-in ballots, to be officially counted.“There were 23 provisional votes counted in the total, and 12 that were not counted, and there was no change in the outcome of the election,” Croaff said following the canvassing. “We had one late absentee, which was also counted because it was postmarked and we received it before the election day deadline.”Croaff said any candidate requesting a recount must file their paperwork with the clerk’s office by 2:10 p.m. on Nov.12, as well as post a $300 non-refundable bond.“ I don’t think any of the candidates will ask for a recount because none of the races were close, and the final results are only going to change a little with the addition of only 23 provisional and one late absentee vote,” he said. “But any candidate certainly has the right to file for a recount.”Of Mingo County’s 17.052 registered voters, only 11 percent of those turned out for the May Primary while 24 percent participated in last week’s general election, which Croaff noted the latter as being a relatively good turnout considering this was an off-year election.</div>
