Possible recounts

The delay in some counties’ canvasses does not affect the timing for any recount requests.

For statewide contests, the vote difference must be 10,000 votes or fewer for a second-place candidate to demand a recount. For non-statewide contests, the difference between the candidates must be 1 percent or less of the total votes cast in the contest after county canvass. In contests under the jurisdiction of the State Board of Elections (including General Assembly seats in which the district lies in more than one county), the recount demand must be in writing and received by the State Board of Elections no later than noon on Tuesday, November 19.

For contests under the jurisdiction of county boards of elections, a demand for recount must be made in writing to the county board of elections by 5 p.m. Monday, November 18.

Under state law, if results change after the recount request deadline and a candidate becomes eligible to demand a recount, they would have 48 hours to request one.

And there is no mention of deadlines for recount requests made on the basis of issues other than close races.
