There were no questionable absentee ballots, thus no review by the Canvassing Board was required.

At 6:45 p.m., the Sebastian Canvassing Board certified to a Logic and Accwacy test.

Two challenged votes were approved by the Canvassing Board for precinct 12. They were ballots cast by registered Sebastian voters who were allowed to vote in that precinct due to 1) not receiving a requested absentee ballot; and 2) a standby pollworker who was required to work in precinct 12 and had no opportunity to leave to go to his precinct. All members of the Canvassing Board were in attendance for Sebastian precinct ballot counts. The unofficial cumulative report indicated two votes that were within one half of one percent of one another, resulting in an automatic recount for the eight candidates. Ballot equipment was zerced out and another logic and accuracy test was conducted and certified to by the Canvassing Board. The recount resulted in different numbers for five of the eight candidates. The Canvassing Board requested a second recount based on the discrepancy. Ballot equipment was once again zeroed out and another logic and accuracy test was conducted and certified to by the Canvassing Board. The second recount resulted in an identical count as the first recount. The Canvassing Board certified to the results as indicated on the recount and second recount.
