HURON The Beadle County Commission canvassed the Tuesday primary election to open the meeting Thursday morning at the courthouse.
Statewide turnout for the primary was 17%, and Beadle was behind that with 13%, as 1,320 balllots were cast from 9,972 registered voters in the county. The commission verified the pole book and the machine tabulation matched, which they did for the county overall. Of the ballots cast, 213 were absentee, which county auditor Jill Hanson said is about as low as I can remember.
In accordance with a new post-election audit bill, the commission drew precincts 2 and 8 to be audited next Wednesday, June 12, at 2 p.m. with a manual count.
The only other agenda item on the day was talking with Rick and Sue Zieske regarding ordinance violation complaints with their neighbor at Lake Byron. The commission chose to address the concerns at the regular meeting Tuesday, June 11, at 9 a.m., with a representative from the States Attorneys office and the county equalization office both present.
