The Moab City Council met in special session on Nov. 12, 2025, and voted unanimously to certify the results of the Nov. 4 municipal election.

The council, acting as the board of canvassers, approved a motion to accept the certification of the municipal election and declare the winners as listed in the city canvass: Joe At Langdonis for mayor with 1,194 votes; Miles Loftin with 1,155 votes; and Jason Taylor with 1,460 votes for city council. The motion was made by Councilmember Tawny and seconded by Luke. The presiding official called the question and announced the motion passed 5-0.

Why it matters: certification is the formal step that records winners and final vote totals so those results become the official returns of the municipal election. The presiding official also noted in the meeting that turnout was "almost 75%," a level the council described as unusually high for city elections.

What happened at the meeting: after opening the special session at 5:46 p.m., the presiding official explained the council's role as board of canvassers and confirmed members had the district vote-count packet. Councilmember Tawny read the motion to accept the canvass and declare the listed winners. When asked if there was any discussion, Tawny said, "I'm just glad it's over, and we can move forward." No additional discussion was recorded. The council then voted and the presiding official recorded the motion as passing 5-0.

The meeting concluded immediately after the vote and certification. The council did not direct further action on the canvass during the special meeting. Any future disputes or recounts would be governed by the city's election rules and state law, though none were raised during this session.
