When are ballots recounted?
Question: Under what conditions are ballots recounted?
Answer(s):
d . By request
Comments: The agent of a candidate or a political party may, before the polling committee declares the results, request from the Chief of the polling committee to implement a recount of the votes or a new aggregation of the results, and the Chief of the polling committee shall do so if:
(a) the difference in the number of votes between a candidate and another or
any list and another is less than five percent,
(b) the total number of valid and invalid and blank votes cast is not equal to
the number of the voters who have actually voted, or if there are any other differences in any other totals on the sorting and counting report according to the rules,
(c) the Chief of the polling committee has reasons to believe that the sorting
and aggregation of votes have been interfered with, or that there was a
mistake in the declaration of the results of sorting or counting, or that some ballot cards have been accounted by mistake because they were misplaced into a different ballot box from the one that they should belong to.
