WILMINGTON — The votes are in and the people have spoken (officially) after the New Hanover County Board of Elections and the Brunswick County Board of Elections completed the canvass of votes for municipal elections Friday.

While unofficial numbers were reported on election night, the votes were not made official until local election boards certified the votes. While some candidates did gain additional votes, the canvass did not change who was elected in New Hanover County or Brunswick County.

“Canvass has completed did not change anything, some people gained some votes but it did not change the outcome,” Butch Johnson said on behalf of the Brunswick County Board of Elections.

Colby Tuttle Elections Database and Systems Specialist for New Hanover County said, “All of our winners stayed the same from the unofficial results.”
