the council aha we don't need to sit the time at 1 minute then thank you we move on to item number five discussion for possible action regarding the certification of canvas election returns for the April 2nd 2019 Municipal primary election Mrs Holmes good morning mayor and Council my name is Lan Holmes city clerk for the city of Las Vegas for the 2019 primary election there was an active voter registration of 31,33 1 voters in the city of the 26,998 3 or 2.06% were submitted by mail 12,476 or 4.01% voted during early vote period and 8,100 or 2.6% took advantage of one of our 33 vote centers across the four jurisdictions on Election Day the total ballots cast represent present 8.67% of the total registered voters there was one irreconcilable error in the 26979 ballots cast with no tabulation errors identified as stated by the register of Voters the foregoing irreconcilable dis discrepancy did not alter the outcome of any race for this primary election the statement of vote which contains the return of the votes by Precinct is listed in your backup with that said I recommend that the city council accept and ratify the canvas of the results for the 2019 primary election any questions any questions from the council yes I yes thank you I it's a general question about how we did the election and I think we took a fair amount of criticism for having so many places we did the right thing by having so many early voting places and everything you and Joe Gloria worked it out and the other clerks perfectly but now I'm thinking for the general when we do early vote if it's not cast in stone I think maybe we had almost too many and we should keep a fewer number but keep them permanently like supermarkets and things like that or or more of that kind of thing where people can park and go in and and vote because they can't keep track of what was going to be the place to go to with so many changes well that's my consideration here and on my take off okay and I'm sure that you put them into your consideration for the well how how the planning going for the general thank you councilman through you mayor per Tim actually we've already started the schedule and uh we took a look at the locations that we have unfortunately we don't have any locations other than our our long-term um like the Meadows Mall who has agreed to allow us to be back inside um which is wonderful that they're allowing that um but we have uh we have upped and rearranged our early vote schedule a little bit and so we're guaranteeing location in each of the three Wards for the general for each of the full two weeks it usually uh for early vote it's it's a little sporadic we'd maybe have two or three days in one W two and three days in another Ward that has to do with the resources that support early vote um the register of Voters has been really great with supplying us enough resources that we will have places for the entire two weeks in W one for the entire two weeks in W two including the weekends and the entire two weeks in war three U if I could follow then would they be in one prominent location or two prominent locations in each Ward so people don't have to go finding that uh you know that uh voter guide and then figure out where it is that day it's they in I would say there's probably four prominent locations City Hall will be consistent um Meadows mall is consistent we're using East Las Vegas uh Library um we're using which one oh gardz yeah gardz allowed us a few more days that's on the east side and that's great on your side sorry so and then of course we're going to publicize we're going to be publishing the schedule we'll put the schedule out on the website we'll make sure there's a lot more um communication about those locations going out to the voters as well thank you that's what I needed thank you very much uh Mr CER thank you madam mayor proam one I just want to clarify with legal on the record uh Cons considering the fact that I was a part of this past election am I okay to discuss and vote on this yes C I think so okay just want to verify thank you oh I want to get in trouble you're fine right thank you and and two uh you know this past cycle you know there was a lot of discussion I know my ward um with early voting we only had D little was only open for a couple days which is right in the heart of that if it would have been open really for the entire time um would have been better I'm not sure how much turnout would have been better or not but it would have been giving people more ample time um and I got a lot of discussion about that during during the campaign season um and two are we not going to have any for the moving into the general polling places in Wards four five and six whe there shouldn't be any there correct I mean um people are going to just be in one two and three correct okay so for the general we only have boards one two and three that are eligible so we took the resources that they would normally be putting in four five and six and we reallocate them so that we have um a broader coverage in 1 two and three for the so there'll be additional sites that that can be added okay thank you all right is there a motion approve authenticate rece motion to approve are you making a motion oh all right we have the motion vote on the motion please post and the motion carries all right now
