Election results certified

Clark County commissioners on Tuesday certified the results of the Nov. 5 election, which administrators called "near flawless."

Registrar of Voters Larry Lomax said the number of signatures did not match the number of ballots cast in 12 of the 1,035 precincts. Lomax said the discrepancy could have been caused by a voter forgetting to sign the roster. Also, five clerical errors were found in two precincts along with one clerical error in each of 18 precincts.

None of the races was close enough to be affected by the errors, Lomax said.

Commissioners Dario Herrera and Erin Kenny, both of whom lost their bids for higher office, approved the certification. They were joined by Yvonne Atkinson Gates and Mary Kincaid-Chauncey.

The ballot was the second-largest in Clark County history and the first time it was printed in English and Spanish.
