Comments: "A candidate in an election may file with the Chief Electoral Officer a petition for a re-count in the electorate on the grounds that (a) the result was so close that it would be proper to have the voting figures rechecked, or (b) there was an error in relation to the count, the records of the election, or the admission or rejection of ballot papers, and that he believes that a re-count will affect the result of the election. ... "If the Chief Electoral Officer grants a petition under Section 180 of this Chapter, or if the High Court on appeal under Section 181 of this Chapter orders the Chief Electoral Officer to direct a re-count, the Chief Electoral Officer shall direct the Counting and Tabulation Committee to conduct a re-count."
