Re: Proposed Rules of Procedure Relative to the Recount of Ballots Cast
Ward 1 Alderman Race — November 2, 2021 Municipal General Election
Charter Section 26 sets forth the recount procedures for city elections, but is silent as to
the specific steps for the actual recount. Since 2003, the Board of Aldermen has closely
modeled the Rules of Procedure for Recounts used by the NH Secretary of State under
RSA 660:5, Conduct of Recount. That procedure authorizes the use of such assistants
as may be required and states that the recount teams “shail visually inspect each baliot.”
Election officials, from wards other than Ward 1, and City Clerk personnel will be available
on Saturday to assist with the recount of the ballot cast
| respectfully request that the Board of Aldermen adopt the following Rules of Procedure
for the recount for the votes cast in the Ward 1 Alderman race to be held on November
13, 2021, beginning at 9 a.m. in the City Hall Auditorium.
Thank you.
