Comments: "26.––(1) [Subject to subsection (1A)] if any candidate has reason to believe that the public declaration by [a Recorder] of one or more of the elected candidates is incorrect, and that on a recount of votes the first-mentioned candidate might be elected, he or she may, within 72 hours after the public declaration and the affixing of the notice of elected candidates referred to in section 16(10), apply to the Island Magistrate for a recount of the votes. (Amended by Ordinance No. 1 of 2013) [(1A) If the Island Magistrate is a candidate in the election, a candidate may instead apply to the [Administrator] for a recount of the votes, and the rest of this section and section 28 apply as though references to the Island Magistrate were references to the [Administrator].] (2) An application under subsection (1) must be in writing and specify the grounds upon which it is believed that the counting of votes might be incorrect and shall be deemed to have been made when the application is delivered by hand to the Island Secretary. (3) Upon receiving an application under subsection (2) the Island Secretary shall immediately transmit it to the Island Magistrate. (4) If the Island Magistrate is satisfied that the applicant has reasonable grounds to believe that the declaration is incorrect and that on a recount the applicant might be elected, the Island Magistrate must, as soon as practicable after receiving the application— (a) cause a recount of the votes to be made; and (b) give notice in writing to the [Recorders], Island Secretary and to each of the candidates of the time and place at which the recount will be made."
