City officials have retrieved the memory cards containing results from the three boxes that were missing Tuesday night.

Presiding Jefferson County Circuit Judge Joseph Boohaker signed an order allowing the boxes to be opened Wednesday afternoon.

“During tabulation of votes from the 69 polling places it was determined certain election records (memory cards) were erroneously placed in the sealed Records of Elections Boxes and/or the Provisional Ballot Boxes at the close of the polls in three locations,” Director of Communication Rick Journey said Wednesday.

“The memory cards are used to store counted votes on the voting machines. Those memory cards and other items should have been returned to the City Clerk outside of those boxes.”

Those boxes contained election results from the following polling places:

Precinct 1130, Martha Gaskins Elementary School, 200 Dalton Drive

Precinct 1120, Robinson Elementary School, 8400 1st Avenue South

Precinct 2380, Five Points West Library, 4812 Avenue W
