Davis County Opens Election Process to Public, Citing 99.97% Voter Roll Accuracy

Davis County officials hosted a public town hall to showcase their election security and transparency measures ahead of the Nov. 4 election. Residents learned about ballot processing, voter registration requirements, and the recent audit of voter records, which showed a 99.97% accuracy rate. Minor discrepancies were found, and efforts are underway to resolve them. Pre-election testing confirmed the ballot-counting system is functioning properly, with a post-election audit also planned.

🌿 Wellness Wednesday with Erin 🌿

🌿 1-Minute Vagus Reset — Calm on Cue

Your body has a built-in switch for calm, and it’s called the vagus nerve. When activated, it signals safety to your entire system—slowing your heart rate, easing tension, and clearing mental fog.

Try this mini-reset whenever stress hits:
1️⃣ Sit tall, unclench your jaw, drop your shoulders.
2️⃣ Inhale slowly through your nose for 4 counts.
3️⃣ Exhale with a gentle hum or through pursed lips for 8 counts—the longer exhale tells your body “I’m safe.”
4️⃣ Place a hand on your heart, feel the softening, and repeat five times.

In just one minute, you’ll notice your mind settle and your body unwind. It’s a simple, powerful way to regulate your energy anytime, anywhere. 🌿💜
