The Brevard County Supervisor of Elections has ordered machine recounts in two contests: the State Representative District 33 race and a Cape Canaveral City Council Member race.

What was ordered

A machine recount involves running the ballots through tabulation equipment again as election officials review the results. The order applies to both contests named by the supervisor of elections.

The races involved

One recount concerns the contest for State Representative District 33. The other concerns a Cape Canaveral City Council Member race. The two contests are separate races, but both are included in the recount order.

What happens next

Election officials will carry out the machine recount as part of the post-election process. The recount concerns the vote totals in the two contests and does not itself change the list of candidates or the offices on the ballot.

The recount order marks a formal step in the handling of the election results for State Representative District 33 and the Cape Canaveral City Council race. Further official action will follow the recount process.

What to watch

  • When the machine recount is conducted.
  • Whether the recount changes either contest’s vote totals.
  • Any certification action after the recount process.
