Minn. Stat. 205.185 requires the governing body of a city conducting an election to act as the canvassing board, canvass results and declare the results of an election. Background The tie in the number of votes cast for Marylee Abrams and Nikki Villavicencio in the November 6 General Election was determined by the toss of a coin in the manner provided by Minn. Stat. 204C.34 on November 13 during the canvassing of the General Election results. By selecting a number between one and ten which was closest without going over to a number drawn at random, Councilmember Candidate Villavicencio called the coin toss and prevailed. A written request for a recount from Candidate Abrams was received on November 13. The requested recount on November 27, 2018 was open to the public. The focus of the recount was the votes cast for the two candidates, Marylee Abrams and Nikki Villavicencio. Four counting teams sorted and counted the 17,840 ballots per the Secretary of State 2018 Recount Guide. There were four challenged ballots which will be presented to the canvassing board for final determination. Voter intent should be decided per Minn. Stat. 204C.22 and the abstract will be modified to reflect the determinations. Upon counting Precinct 10, one ballot and one vote for Marylee Abrams was unavailable for examination. An exhaustive search was conducted on November 27 at Ramsey County and an additional search at city hall on November 28 led staff to the election night's Precinct 10 spoiled ballot envelope. In the precinct's spoiled ballot envelope were several defective ballots and one non -defective ballot which also had a vote for Abrams and another candidate. The collective agreement between county and city staff is that this is the ballot which was searched for extensively on November 27. Ramsey County has provided an Abstract of Votes Cast — Recount for Councilmember detailing the results from the November 27, 2018 recount. Upon determination of the challenged and found ballots by the canvassing board, the abstract and resolution will be modified to show the final declaration of results. Pursuant to Minn. Stat. 205.185, the issuance of the certificate of election to the successful candidate will occur after the contest time has expired and the required certificate of filing per Minn. Stat. 211A.05 has been submitted. The four-year term will begin January 7, 2019. Attachments 1. Process for Recount for Council Member in City of Maplewood 2. Minn.

Abstract and Return of Votes Cast Packet Page Number 2 of 22 F1, Attachment 1 Ramsey County Elections Process for Recount for Council Member in City of Maplewood The following is a description of the process to be used to conduct the recount for Council Member for the City of Maplewood. 1. There will be four counting teams to sort and count the ballots. Each team will count one precinct at a time. Each candidate or a candidates' representative may observe the ballots as they are sorted. After they have been sorted, one additional representative per candidate may observe the ballots while they are being counted. If other election materials are handled or examined by the recount officials, the candidates and their representatives may observe them. The observers must not interfere with the counting of the ballots or the preparation of the summary of the recount vote by precinct. Candidates may have additional representatives in the public viewing area of the room. 2. The focus of the recount will be the votes cast for the candidates with the second and third highest number of votes received. The ballots will be separated into piles, in the following manner. a. Ballots with a vote for the Marylee Abrams b. Ballots with a vote for the candidate Nikki Villavicencio C. Ballots with votes for both candidates d. All other ballots 3. The ballots in each pile will then be counted into groups of 25. 4. Election judges will determine the intent of the voter in the manner provided in Minn. Stat. § 204C.22. 5. Challenges of the election judges' determination of a vote cast may be made by stating the challenge to the recount official. The basis for the challenge must be written by the recount official on the header of the ballot and initialed. Challenges must not be either automatic or frivolous. Challenged ballots will be presented to the city canvassing board for a final determination. Packet Page Number 3 of 22 F1, Attachment 1 6. Results for each precinct will be recorded for the categories listed in 2a — 2d on a summary statement for that precinct. 7. When counting has been completed, the ballots for that precinct will be resealed into the transfer case. 8. This process will be repeated until the ballots for each precinct have been recounted. 9. The results of the recount will be reported to the Maplewood city council. issest-V Packet Page Number 4 of 22 F1, Attachment 2 MINNESOTA STATUTES 2018 204C.22 204C.22 DETERMINING VOTER'S INTENT. Subdivision 1. Ballot valid if intent determinable. A ballot shall not be rejected for a technical error that does not make it impossible to determine the voter's intent. In determining intent the principles contained in this section apply. Subd. 2. From face of ballot only. Intent shall be ascertained only from the face of the ballot. Subd. 3. Votes for too many candidates. If a voter places a mark beside the names of more candidates for an office than are to be elected or nominated, the ballot is defective with respect only to that office. No vote shall be counted for any candidate for that office, but the rest of the ballot shall be counted if possible. At a primary, if a voter has not indicated a parry preference and places a mark beside the names of candidates of more than one party on the partisan ballot, the ballot is totally defective and no votes on it shall be counted. If a voter has indicated a party preference at a primary, only votes cast for candidates of that party shall be counted. Subd. 3a. Votes yes and no. If a voter votes both yes and no on a question, no vote may be counted for that question, but the rest of the ballot must be counted if possible. Subd. 4. Name written in proper place. If a voter has written the name of an individual in the proper place on a general or special election ballot a vote shall be counted for that individual whether or not the voter makes a mark in the oval or other target shape opposite the blank. Subd. 4a. Write-in vote for candidate team. A write-in vote cast for a candidate for governor without a write-in vote for a candidate for lieutenant governor must be counted as a vote for the candidate team including the lieutenant governor candidate selected by that candidate for governor. Subd. 5. Name written on primary ballot. If a voter has written the name of an individual on a primary or special primary ballot, a vote shall not be counted for that office. Subd. 6. Mark out of place. If a mark (X) is made out of its proper place, but so near a name or space as to indicate clearly the voter's intent, the vote shall be counted. Subd. 7. All written names or marks counted up to limit. If a number of individuals are to be elected to the same office, the election judges shall count all names written in and all printed names with marks in oval or other target shape opposite them, not exceeding the whole number to be elected. When fewer names than the number to be elected are marked or written in, only the marked or written in names shall be counted. When more names than the number to be elected are marked or written in, the ballot is defective with respect to that office and no vote shall be counted for that office. Subd. 8. Misspelling; abbreviations. Misspelling or abbreviations of the names of write-in candidates shall be disregarded if the individual for whom the vote was intended can be clearly ascertained from the ballot. Subd. 9. Votes for only some offices or questions determined. If the voter's choice for only some of the offices or questions can be determined from a ballot, the ballot shall be counted for those offices or questions only. Subd. 10. Different marks. If a voter uniformly uses a mark that clearly indicates an intent to mark a name or to mark yes or no on a question, and the voter does not use the more standard mark anywhere else on the ballot, a vote shall be counted for each candidate or response to a question marked. If a voter uses two or more distinct marks, such as (X) and some other mark, a vote shall be counted for each candidate or Copyright U 2018 by the Revisor of Statutes, State of Minnesota.

Subd. 11. Attempted erasures. If the names of two candidates have been marked, and an attempt has been made to erase or obliterate one of the marks, a vote shall be counted for the remaining marked candidate. If an attempt has been made to obliterate a write-in name a vote shall be counted for the remaining write-in name or marked candidate. Subd. 12. Soil; defacement. A ballot shall not be rejected merely because it is slightly soiled or defaced. Subd. 13. Identifying ballot. If a ballot is marked by distinguishing characteristics in a manner making it evident that the voter intended to identify the ballot, the entire ballot is defective. Subd. 14. No votes for certain offices. If the number of candidates for an office is equal to the number of individuals to be elected to that office, and the voter has not marked any name, no vote shall be counted for any candidate for that office. Subd. 15. Blank ballot for one or more offices valid. If no name or response to a question is marked and no name is written in, the ballot is blank with respect to that office or question. A ballot that is blank with respect to one or more offices or questions is not defective.
