# Woodbury Canvas Meeting 11-12-26

The City of Woodbury, Minnesota, City Council met as the municipal canvassing board on November 12, 2026, to review the November 3 general election returns. The City Clerk reported turnout of just over 41,000 voters, or about 72%, including more than 18,000 accepted absentee and mail ballots. The reported results included Anne Burt for mayor with 22,564 votes and, for two at-large council seats, Samantha Wolf and Nicole Mitchell; the transcript gives Wolf’s total unclearly as “10,52” and Mitchell’s as 7,837.

The City Attorney explained that canvassing confirms vote totals and that a candidate-eligibility challenge must proceed through the courts; the Clerk would withhold an election certificate if a timely contest were filed. Residents commented on Mitchell’s eligibility, and a council member proposed tabling certification of the council race pending court review. The transcript ends during council discussion and does not capture a final motion or vote. No procurement or spending activity was identified.
