North Idaho county plans recount after 2,300 ballots unreported

Recount planned

A North Idaho county plans an election recount after 2,300 ballots were not included in its reported results. The recount will address the ballots that were not reported in the initial count.

What the recount will do

A recount is intended to review ballots and establish a count for the election. The county’s planned action follows the discovery that 2,300 ballots had not been reported.

The recount has been planned but not completed. The information available does not identify the election, the office involved, the recount date or whether the final count will change the reported result.

What to watch

The next steps are the county’s announcement of a recount schedule and the release of any updated results after the review. County election officials may also explain how the unreported ballots will be counted and incorporated into the election totals.
