BOISE — Elections officials in Canyon County will conduct a recount of votes this Wednesday, three weeks after a College of Western Idaho levy was narrowly defeated at the polls.

With more than 231,000 votes cast, the levy failed by just 144 votes.

School officials want to build a Health Sciences Building on the Nampa campus.
