A recount happens when organizations re-tabulate members’ votes. Most recounts verify the accuracy of the original results. Still, organizations also use them when the election results are very close, or there are concerns about the integrity of the voting process. Recounts can be triggered automatically if the margin of victory falls within a predetermined range, or they can be requested by candidates, members, or the board.
