Bill > S3624

Introduced Session

This bill requires automatic recounts for elections decided by a vote differential of 0.5 percent or less. Currently, when a candidate or 10 or more voters at any election have reason to believe that an error has been made in counting the votes of that election, the candidate or voters may, within a period of 3 days after the certification of the results of the election, apply to a judge of the Superior Court for a recount of the votes cast at the election in any district. Under the bill, there will be an automatic recount if there is a 0.5 percent or less vote differential in the votes cast for an election. The recount will be paid for by the State. If the vote differential is greater than 0.5 percent, the losing candidate or 10 or more voters may request a recount.
