Overton Election Commission Preparing For Friday Election Certifications

Overton County election commission set to certify election results by this Friday.

Election Administrator Craig Story said the commission met Tuesday to go through provisional ballots. He said once they do that and get final numbers, they prepare for certification.

“We just double check and triple check and then check again on all of our numbers and make sure everything is the way it’s supposed to be,” Story said. “We send them into the state, there are some documents that are prepared for us, the Election Commission looks at everything and then they sign off on it.”

Overton County saw several tight races in the August 4th election. Story said while he doesn’t expect any, challengers are able to challenge the results up to five business days after certification.
