# 8/17/2026 Board of Canvassers

Waupaca County Board of Canvassers meeting, August 17, 2026: The board reviewed returns from the August 11 partisan primary, comparing municipal election-night reports with tally sheets, poll books, tapes, and inspector statements. Members identified and corrected multiple reporting errors, mainly involving write-in and scattering votes, along with some incomplete forms and voter totals. The corrected canvass report was printed for review. The board also discussed an absentee ballot that a clerk received but did not deliver to the polling place; it was not counted, and the clerk was to notify the voter.

The board approved the agenda and adjourned. Discussion included plans to share canvass findings with municipalities and provide targeted training for election staff, particularly on recording write-ins and completing election paperwork. No procurement, contract, or spending activity was identified.
