Overview

RULE:

Recount Procedures

PURPOSE:

The purpose of the proposed rule revision is to conform the rule to law that now allows the Secretary of State in lieu of the Elections Canvassing Commission, to order recounts for federal, statewide, and multicounty races. Additionally the revisions codify practices that have evolved over time to improve the machine and manual recount processes. The revisions will also reflect a substantial re-write of the rule in order to re-organize and simplify the language in the rule. The rule incorporates by reference DS-DE 72/105 which contains the sample ballot image reports for the various voting systems that are to be used in a manual recount of touchscreen ballots for determining whether a voter has cast an undervote.

SUBJECT:

Recount procedures.
