Polk County commissioners formally approved the canvass of results for the Nov. 2025 ballot propositions during a brief meeting at 10 a.m. Nov. 17 at the Polk County Regional Health Building, Suite A.

County elections staff reported the turnout for that election at 9.37%. "He had 9 thou I mean, 9.37% voter turnout," said Shalanda, speaking for elections staff. The presiding official added that "turnout's always low" for propositions and several participants noted many voters do not closely read ballot measures; one speaker said pass rates were "70 to 88% on some of them."

The board moved and seconded a motion to canvass the November propositions. The presiding official called for a voice vote; attendees responded "Aye," and the presiding official declared, "Motion carries." The transcript does not record a roll-call tally by name.

There were no members of the public who spoke during the public-comment period; the presiding official announced that the board would pass on public comments. The board then moved to adjourn and ended the meeting at 10:01 a.m.

The meeting record in the transcript is limited to the canvass vote, the turnout figure reported by elections staff and brief commissioner observations about voter behavior; no ordinances, budgets, or formal policy changes were proposed or adopted during this session.
