When are ballots recounted?
Question:Under what conditions are ballots recounted?
Answer(s): d. By request
Comments: After the entire counting is over, the Returning Officer will announce the result giving the total number of votes polled by each candidate as recorded in the Final Result Sheet. After the announcement is made, a candidate, or in his absence his election agent or any of his counting agents, may apply in writing for a recount of all or any of the ballot papers stating the grounds on which he demands such recount. When such an application for recount is made, the grounds urged for the recount will be considered and a decision taken by the Returning Officer. The decision of the Returning Officer will be final. If the margin of invalid votes is more than the margin between the winning and trailing candidates then a recount is normally undertaken.
