Mercer County Updates Election Results

At approximately 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, a release was sent to The Hazen Star that, in Mercer County, 196 test ballots, used to test equipment accuracy prior to the election, were not cleared from the computer.

This resulted in 196 test ballots being counted in yesterday’s 2024 General Election totals for Mercer County that were not actual ballots cast by voters.

Auditor Carmen Reed said numbers have now been updated online to remove these test ballots from the count. All Mercer County numbers have changed as a result, but based on the updated numbers, none of the races or measure vote results changed.

However, the Mercer County Commission race will advance to an automatic recount.

Numbers published in The Hazen Star and Beulah Beacon reflect the results as reported Tuesday night when the papers went to print. These numbers include the test ballots.

Below is the press release sent to The Hazen Star:

Mercer County today released updated results totals for the 2024 General Election held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024.
“In reviewing results Wednesday morning, it was discovered that test results from logic and accuracy testing conducted prior to election day to ensure equipment accuracy were not cleared from the computer used to compile results for uploading to the Secretary of State’s office,” said Mercer County Auditor Carmen Reed. “I immediately reported that test results were included in our totals to the Secretary of State’s office and have worked with their team to remove the test totals to reflect only actual votes cast by Mercer County voters.”
Mercer County included a total of 196 ballots used as part of logic and accuracy testing in unofficial election night results. Individual race totals have been updated to reflect the removal of logic and accuracy test ballots.
The updated unofficial election night results move the Mercer County Commission race to an automatic recount pending official results determined at a meeting of the Mercer County Canvass board November 18, 2024. No other Mercer County races were impacted. Updated totals for Mercer County are available on the Secretary of State’s website at: www.sos.nd.gov/elections/election-results.
