Under Section 53(5)(a) of the Municipal Government Act(MGA) a recount of the ballots must be done for each of the leading candidates that are within 10 votes.

A candidate has requested a recount where the votes of that candidate are within 15 votes of another candidate, Section 53(5)(b),MGA.

The Recount will be held Friday November 6th at 10:00 a.m., at the Eastern Kings Community Centre 85 Munns Road, Rte 301, Kingsboro, in the back room behind the kitchen.

The candidate or one agent per candidate is allowed to be present at the recount.

Candidates can observe the process only.

After the Ballots have been recounted, no person may recount the ballots.

Thank you.
