§ 15622 Recount Precinct Order

This law lets someone who asks for a vote recount tell the officials which precincts to count first.

Key Takeaways

  • •A recount request can include a specific sequence for counting precincts.
  • •The order is optional – the request may or may not specify it.
  • •Officials must follow the order if the request includes one.

Example

A political party thinks some voting areas might have mistakes, so they ask the election board to recount the votes and say, 'Check precinct A first, then precinct B, then precinct C.'

The law says the party can set the order of the precincts in their recount request, so the board will follow that order when doing the recount.
