The City of Lethbridge continues to provide updates on vote counting in the 2025 municipal election.
Returning Officer Bonnie Hilford says it was discovered during an audit of the unofficial results that some ballots had been entered into the system twice.
“The count from a Mayoral contest box of 633 ballots from the YMCA on October 17 was entered twice into the results database. The same ballots were not counted twice; the numbers were entered twice,” reads a statement from Hillford.
She clarifies that the adjustment and correction did not affect the outcome of the mayoral race, only that the numbers and percentages changed.
