Melanie Abplanalp with the Washington County Election Office reported that Washington County is Ivins election vendor and reported that Ivins city had a 55.98% turnout for their Municipal General election, which was amazing. Only the municipalities of Rockville and Springdale had higher turnouts. There were 3,344 ballots that were eligible, with 190 ballots that could not be counted. Of those 190 ballots, 10 ballots were returned past the deadline, 140 were undeliverable and 40 ballots were not cured. A ballot that needs to be cured is when they have ballots come in and the signature does not match a signature on file or the ballot was not signed. In those instances, the County tries to make contact with those voters by phone, email and/or letter, to give them the opportunity to cure the ballot. There was in-person voting for the City of St. George, Washington City and Ivins City. Ivins had four (4) same day registrations and 29 vote at the Dixie Center in person on election day.
