Canvassing Board: City Election Unless a charter provides otherwise, within two days after the city general election, the council must meet as a canvassing board and declare the results of the election as they appear upon the face of the election returns. 98 The council has no au- thority to recount or inspect the ballots, either while sitting as a canvassing board or otherwise (except in the case of recounts). If there is an ob- vious mistake on the face of the returns, the coun- cil may send the record back to the judges for cor- rection, but neither the council nor the judges have authorit y to recount or recheck the ballots. Once the council has announced the resulLs of the election and notified candidates of their elec- tion, a challenge needs to go through in the district court of the county, with the exception of the recount procedure described here under "Contested Elections." The city council must inspect voting machine counters and compare them with election returns as a part of the council's canvassing duties. 99 A plurality of votes is sufficient to elect. This means that the candidate receiving the highest number of votes, whether or not that number equals a majority, is elected. If the election results in a tie, then the winner should be determined by lot in the presence of the council acting as the can- vassing board. At least seven days after. the,c?uncil completes the canv~~9fthe,vote_ka~f ".' . the cleJi;.......,issueaeertificate of electiontc:f., each successful canl;iidate. If an election is con- tested, the clerk shoulq ,l,loLissue a certificate of eJection for the officOl"iuntilafter the court has determined a winner. The clerk may not destroy the ballots or other election materials until the courts have made a final determination. After sending certificates of election to the suc- cessful candidates, the clerk must also certify the results to the county auditor. .' ~ _ Il\'\[li-Z---- ~~~." ~~~~ OXTY OF SHOREWOOn ~ ~. ~ .

Judge Judge Election OffiCIal Judge .!udge SJ.~71ltcL . -""'. .-' , ,," " ADMINISTRATIVE RECOUNTS Minnesota statutes 204C.36 Minnesota Rules Chapter 8235 The PurDose The purpose of a recount is to provide a relatively simple administrative procedure for recounting the votes cast in an election for a specific office or question and for verifying the results. Recounts are limited in scope. Only the ballots cast in the election are recounted, and the person nominated or elected or the passage or failure of a ballot question declared. All other issues may be resolved through contesting the election in district court. Contested issues may include campaign practices, lost or improperly cast ballots, or questionable election procedures. Election contests are discussed in Minnesota statutes Chapter 209. ADDlication This information applies to local elections such as county, municipal and school district. For legislative and judicial offices, please contact the Election Division as the details vary. "Automatic recounts" applies only to legislative races. No administrative recount provisions exist for state executive offices, state constitutional amendments, and federal offices; contesting the election is the only option for obtaining a recount for these offices. Who Requests a Recount A losing candidate may request a recount of votes for the office he or she sought. For a ballot question, any person eligible to vote on the question may request a recount. The request must be supported with a petition containing the signatures of 25 or more persons also eligible to vote on the question. When and How Recounts must be requested within five days following the canvass of primary or special primary elections and seven days for special or general elections. Requests must be in writing and are filed with the filing officer for the office or question (the county auditor, municipal clerk 1 ... .. ". " ''\ or school district clerk). Who Pays for the Recount ( The local jurisdiction provides the recount for free if the difference in votes totals between the winner and loser or yes and no votes is within the following margins. Votes cast: Free recount margin: o to 100 101 to 500 501 to 2,000 2,001 to 9,999 10,000or.more 5 votes or less 10 votes or less 20 votes or less 1% of votes cast or less 100 votes or less If the margin is more than shown above, then the person requesting the recount must pay the cost. In this case, the recount request must be accompanied by a bond, cash or surety to cover the cost of the recount as determined by the governing body or school district clerk. i What is Included in Recount Cost In calculating the cost of the recount, the governing body or school district clerk may include the following: staff compensation; Computer costs, if any; Preparation of ballot counting equipment; Supplies and travel; Canvassing board compensation; Preparation costs for canvass; and Attorney fees. PreDarinq for the Recount 1. The recount is conducted by the county auditor, municipal clerk, or school district clerk (or their designee) and necessary staff. If the person who would normally conguct the recount is a candidate for the office to be recounted, then the canvassing board must enlist a neighboring official to conduct the recount instead. i 2. ~Notice must be given within 48 hours of rec~~vi~g~the ~ ec un~ ~ and deposit, if required. ft.YYU/~,~} The official in c~rge of the recount must n~ candidates: 2 '4 .. ..' ,'" .. < .. " Who will conduct the recount; The office to be recounted; The date, time and place of the recount; and That the recount will be open to the public. 3. While notice must be given within 48 hours, the recount may be scheduled for a later date. Obviously it is to everyone's advantage to conclude the recount at the earliest convenient time. 4. Ballot and voting equipment custodians must keep all election materials secure and provide them for the recount. Recount Procedures 1. At the start of the recount, the recount official or his or her legal advisor must explain and summarize the recount rules. (Photo copies of 204C.22 explaining voter's intent may be helpful.) 2. No ballots or election materials may be handled by anyone other than the recount official and those assisting the official. 3. Materials and ballots should be arranged so that the candidates and their representatives can observe them as the recount proceeds. 4. The recount must be conducted one precinct at a time. Only the ballots counted on election day are recounted. Spoiled ballots are not recounted. Other issues such as absentee ballot procedures or voter registration are outside the scope of the recount. Keep a new summary of the votes cast. Recount the ballots so that the voter's intent is considered as directed in 204C.22. 5. Candidates may challenge the recount officials determinations regarding voter's intent. The recount official's determination stands until the challenged ballots are submitted to the canvassing board for resolution. Challenges may not be automatic or frivolous. Each challenged ballot must be marked with the precinct name, reason for challenge, and challenger's name and must be placed a "challenged ballots" envelope for the canvassing board's consideration. A person who challenged a ballot may withdraw the challenge 3 .- .....' .... , 't. ~ .. '", " at a later time. 6. All ballots (other than those challenged) are resealed immediately following the recount by precinct and are secured for 12 months for local elections or 22 months if federal offices are also on the ballot. 7. The person who requested the recount may waive the remainder of the recount at any point. If certain key precincts are in question, the recount official may begin the recount with those precincts, anticipating that the balance of the recount may be waived. Canvassinq the Recount The appropriate canvassing board reconvenes following the recount to canvass the recount results. Any challenged ballots are considered by the board. Electronic votinq Systems Recounts for electronic voting systems may be conducted by hand or using the electronic equipment at the discretion of the recount official. It may occasionally be faster to hand count. If the vote tabulation equipment is used, samples must be taken from two precincts (which may be chosen by each candidate) for hand tally to verify the accuracy of the equipment. Each precinct's sample should include 50 ballots or 3% of the total, whichever is more. If there is reason to believe that some or all ballots are not being accurately tabulated, possibly due to marking errors such as use of the wrong pen or marks made outside the target area, these ballots should sorted out for hand counting following the rules in 204C.22. tinal Thouqhts If anyone is uncomfortable with the limited scope of the recount, or any other aspect, you may remind them that they have the option of contesting the election. The contest period is reset following a recount, so that a contest may be filed within 5 days of the canvass of the recount for primary elections and 7 days for special or general elections. Please feel welcome to call the Election Division for advice or support! 4 WHAT IS A RECOUNT? The scope of any recount is limited to the recount of the ballots cast and the declaration of the person nominated or elected, or determination of the passage or failure of a question. Recount of the "ballots cast" includes only those ballots counted on election day, spoiled ballots and other election materials are not to be included in the process. This differs from a contest of election, which is usually based on violations of election law, the Fair Campaign Practices Act, or irregularities in the conduct or canvass of the election. WHEN IS A CANDIDATE RECOUNT REQUIRED? A losing candidate may request a recount if the difference between the vote cast for that candidate and the winning candidate is: c. d. 5 votes or less when the vote cast is 100 or less. 10 votes or less when the vote cast is more than 100 but less than 500. 20 votes or less when the vote cast is more than 500 but less than 2000. 1% of the votes or less when the vote cast is more than 2000 but less than 10,000. 100 votes or less when the vote cast is 10,000 or more. a. b. ~ -~ e. These amounts are calculated on the total vote cast for the office to be recounted, not the total number voting in the precinct. A losing candidate must file a written request with the city clerk. No one else may request a recount. The written request must be filed during the period for filing a contest: a. 5 days after the canvass is completed for a primary or special primary. b. 7 days after the canvass is completed for a general or special election. This recount is conducted at the expense of the city. WHEN IS A CANDIDATE RECOUNT DISCRETIONARY? A losing candidate may request a discretionary recount at the candidate1s expense when the vote difference is greater than that for a required recount. - 2 The written request must be filed during the period for filing a contest: a. 5 days after the canvass is completed for a primary or special primary. b. 7 days after the canvass is completed for a general or special election. A bond, cash, or surety in the amount set .by the governing body as necessary to cover recount expenses must be filed at the same time as the request for recount. . WHAT ARE THE EXPENSES OF A DISCRETIONARY RECOUNT? A losing candidate requesting a discretionary recount is responsible for the following expenses: a. compensation for election judges, if necessary. b. compensation for the city clerk. c. compensation for other technical or election personnel required. d. costs of computer operation. e. costs for preparation of ballot counting equipment. f. necessary supplies g. travel h. costs for preparing for the canvass of recount results. i. legal advisor fees WHEN IS A BALLOT QUESTION RECOUNT REQUIRED? A recount may be requested by any person eligible to vote on the ballot question. A written request for a recount must be filed with the city clerk, and accompanied by a petition containing the signatures of 25 voters eligible to vote on the question. A person who ;s "eligible to vote on the question" is an individual who ~ eligible to vote. on the issue on election day. The fact that they mayor may not have voted is not a condition. A recount maybe requested when the difference between the votes for and the votes against the question is less than or equal to: a. 5 votes or less when the vote cast is 100 or less. b. 10 votes or less when the vote cast is more than 100 but less than 500. c. 20 votes or less when the vote cast is more than 500 but less than 2000. d. 1% of the votes or less when the vote cast is more than 2000 but less than 10,000. e. 100 votes or less when the vote cast is 10,000 or more. ~ - 3 - These amounts are calculated on the total vote cast for the question to be recounted, not the total number voting in the precinct. The recount in this situation is conducted at the expense of the city. WHEN IS A BALLOT QUESTION RECOUNT DISCRETIONARY? A discretionary recount may be requested by any person eligible to vote on the ballot question if the difference in the votes for and against the question is . greater than that of a required recount. A written request for recount must be filed with the city clerk, and accompanied by a petition containing the signatures of 25 voters eligible to vote on the question. The written request for recount must be filed during the period for filing a contest. A bond, cash, or surety in the amount set by the governing body as necessary to cover recount expense~ must be filed at the same time as the request for recount. The recount is conducted at the expense of the individual requesting the recount, and chargeable expenses are the same as those for a discretionary candidate recount. GENERAL PROCEDURES Adequate security must be provided for all ballots and materials to be included in the recount. Although not required, it may be to your advantage if security measures are documented. At the opening of the recount, the recount official shall present the procedures contained in the Rules of the Secretary of State. The only materials to be utilized in the recount are the ballots counted on election day, the summary statements, and the envelopes containing ballots that required duplication. The City Clerk is the recount official. If the City Clerk is a candidate in the office to be recounted, the canvassing board must appoint an election official from another jurisdiction to conduct the recount. . The recount process must be public, however public observation may not interfere with the counting of ballots. Candidates and/or their representatives may observe the ballots as they are recounted, however they may not handle any of the ballots or election materials. - 4 - NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS Within 48 hours of receipt of a written request for a recount, a notice must be sent to the candidates for, the office to be recounted, stating: a. the date of the recount b. the starting time c. the location d. the office to be recounted e. the name of the recount official f. a statement that the recount proceedings are public. PAPER BALLOTS Procedures in place for counting of paper ballots on election day should be used for the recount process. Only the ballots accepted and counted 'on election day are to be recounted; spoiled ballots are not included. Ballots are to be recounted by precinct. A new summary statement should be available for recording the results of the recount in each precinct. If a candidate disagrees with the determination of whether and for whom a ballot should be counted, the ballot may be challenged. The following information must be recorded on each challenged ballot: a. the reason for the challenge b. the name of the candidate challenging the ballot c. the precinct number Challenges may not be automatic or frivolous. Your legal advisor may be of assistance in this matter if it becomes a problem. Challenged ballots must be sealed in an envelope identified as "challenged ballots". After completion of the recount, all recounted ballots must be resealed in ballot envelopes and returned to the custodian of the ballots. .'. ,usually the City Clerk. The challenged ballot envelope must be presented to the canvassing board for their determination. .- ~'."'/~" '/ - 5 - LEVER MACHINES Voting machines must remain sealed and locked under the supervlslon of the city clerk, who is responsible for security of the machines and restricting access to them. Only the recount official and authorized election officials may open, read, or touch the voting machines on the day of the recount. The recount must be arranged in a manner where machine totals can be observed by . candidates and/or their representatives. Machines must be recounted by precinct. The recount official must compare the total on each machine to the total recorded on the summary statement by judges on election day. The recounted totals for each machine must be recorded on a new summary statement prepared specifically for the recount. After the machine counts for each precinct have been determined, absentee ballots must be recounted in the same manner provided for the recount of paper ballots, recorded on the new summary statements, and added to the machine totals. Any challenged absentee ballots are to be handled in the same manner provided for paper ballots, and presented to the canvassing board for their determination. ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS The recount official may recount ballots manually or use the electronic equipment. The 119fficial in charge of the jurisdictionll must certify that the program used in the election has not been altered and is available for the recount if electronic equipment is used. The recount official shall then conduct a test of two precincts, one selected by each candidate. This test must include at least 3% of the ballots cast, or 50 ballots, whichever is greater. The test sample must also be manually counted. NOTE: IIIf the ballots are recounted on the automated equipment, a test of the program and counting equipment as provided in part 8230.5100 must be made immediately prior to the recount II Rule 8230.5100 has been repealed ..... ,/ ..,. . / - 6 - If a central count system is used, the public does not have access to the area, however an observation area must be provided. Only the recount official, legal advisor, officials of the election jurisdiction, and the candidates and/or their representatives are allowed in the immediate area. Ballots must be recounted by precinct. Absentee ballots in punchcard system recounts must be counted in the manner provided for the recount of paper ballots, and manually added to the computerized totals. Absentee ballots in optical scan systems do not require special handling, as they are combined and recounted with the ballots cast on election day. A report of recounted results must be provided for each precinct. Challenged ballots must be sealed in the proper envelope and presented to the canvassing board for their determination. CANVASSING BOARD The recount official must present the summary statements of the recount and any challenged ballots to the canvassing board. The candidate or candidate representative who made the challenge may present the basis for the challenge to the canvassing board. The canvassing board must rule on the challenged ballots and incorporate the results into the summary statement totals. If a candidate or candidate representative disagrees with the determination of the canvassing board, they must contest the canvass of the election. The canvassing board must certify the results of the recount, and the time for filing a notice of contest begins to run upon this certification. I.' .,J Canvassing Board: City Election Unless a charter provides otherwise, within two days after the city general election, the council must meet as a canvassing board and declare the results of the election as they appear upon the face of the election returns. 98 The council has no au- thority to recount or inspect the ballots, either while sitting as a canvassing board or otherwise (except in the case of recounts). If there is an ob- vious mistake on the face of the returns, the coun- cil may send the record back to the judges for cor- rection, but neither the council nor the judges have author it y to recount or recheck the ballots. Once the council has announced the results of the election and notified candidates of their elec- tion, a challenge needs to go through in the district court of the county, with the exception of the recount procedure described here under "Contested Elections." The city council must inspect voting machine counters and compare them with election returns as a part of the council's; canvassing duties. 99 A plurality of votes is sufficient to elect. This means that the candidate receiving the highest number of votes, whether or not that number equals a majority, is elected. If the election results in a tie, then the winner should be determined by lot in the presence of the council acting as the can- vassing board. At least seven days after the council completes the canvass of the vote and announces the results, the clerk must issue a certificate of election to each successful candidate. If an election is con- tested, the clerk should not issue a certificate of election for the office until after the court has determined a winner. The clerk may not destroy the ballots or other election materials until the courts have made a final determination. After sending certificates of election to the suc- cessful candidates, the clerk must also certify the results to the county auditor. -....
