Conditions of a recount
On the evening of the election, after the count, the Chief Election Officer will announce the preliminary results. The official declaration of results will be declared by Wednesday, October 21, 2026.
There are a number of circumstances where a recount of the ballots may happen:
- Upon the announcement of the preliminary results, if the difference in votes for a ballot is close (e.g. within a few ballots), the Chief Election Officer may direct a recount of the ballots. Informal recounts are approved at the discretion of the Chief Election Officer. If a recount is required, this is most likely to happen on the next business day.
- If there is a tie upon the official declaration of results, the Chief Election Officer must apply to the Provincial Court for a Judicial Recount.
- If a candidate, or an elector, has reason to believe votes were not correctly accepted or ballots were not correctly rejected, or that votes were not correctly calculated or accounted for, they may apply to the Provincial Court for a Judicial Recount.
