The State Canvassing Board on Monday unanimously accepted the election results for all but one race — a seat on the Dawson Public Power District, which will head to an automatic recount Wednesday morning.

The Canvassing Board consists of Gov. Jim Pillen, Secretary of State Bob Evnen, Attorney General Mike Hilgers, State Treasurer Tom Briese, and State Auditor Mike Foley. Evnen, whose office oversees and administers Nebraska elections, celebrated the “exemplary work” of election officials and voters, who completed the first general election with voter ID.
