MINUTES OF THE CITY OF OCOEE CANVASSING BOARD HELD

The City of Ocoee Canvassing Board was called to order at 12:09
p.m. in the conference room at city hall by Mayor Ison, who then
led in prayer.
PRESENT: Mayor Ison, Commissioners Combs and Hager, City Clerk
Grafton
City Clerk Grafton advised that there were 31 absentee ballots
returned of the 41 requested and that the signatures had been
verified by the Supervisor of Elections office. One of the ballots
was void because the voter died before November 7, leaving 30
valid votes to be counted. The envelopes containing the absentee
ballots were counted by Mayor Ison and Commissioner Hager and
found to be in order. Upon opening the envelopes, the ballots
were separated from the envelopes and stirred to ensure that the
voter's right to secret ballot would not be violated. Mayor Ison
read aloud the vote cast on each ballot and the results were
as follows:
