A. A candidate or 10 qualified voters who believe a mistake has been made in the counting of the votes in that election, and who voted in that election, may file an application with the clerk for a recount of the votes from any particular precinct, or for any particular office, proposition or question by filing an application with the clerk before 5:00 p.m. on the third calendar day following the canvass of the election returns. The date on which the clerk receives an application rather than the date of mailing or transmission determines whether the application is filed within the time allowed under this subsection.

B. A recount application shall identify the particular office, proposition or question for which the recount is to be held, and shall state that the person making the application is a candidate or that the 10 persons making the application are qualified voters who voted in that election. The candidate or persons making the application shall designate by full name and mailing address two persons who shall represent the applicant during the recount. Any person may be named representative, including the candidate or any person signing the application. Applications by 10 qualified voters shall also include the designation of one of the number as a contact person. The candidate or person making the application shall sign the application and shall print or type the candidate’s full name and mailing address.

C. The application shall include a deposit in cash or by certified check. The amount of the deposit shall be $100.00. (Ord. 14-04-373 § 4)
