§ 22-16-111 — Recount of ballot proposition

(a) A recount of votes of a ballot proposition may be
obtained in one (1) of the following manners:
(i) A recount will be made if the proposition
receives a number of votes, greater or lesser, within one
percent (1%) of the number of votes required for passage. The
one percent (1%) variance shall be calculated based upon the
total number of votes cast on the proposition, except for
constitutional amendments in which case the variance shall be
calculated based upon the total number of votes cast in the
election;
(ii) A recount will be made if requested in an
affidavit signed by twenty-five (25) electors registered in a
district voting on the question. The affidavit shall be filed
with the county clerk not later than two (2) days after the
county canvass has been completed for propositions voted on in
one (1) county, and with the secretary of state not later than
two (2) days after the state canvass has been completed for
propositions voted on in more than one (1) county. The affidavit
shall be accompanied by a deposit of one hundred dollars
($100.00).
(b) The county in which the recount is taken shall pay the
costs of the recount if the recount is required by subsection
(a)(i) of this section; and the signers of the affidavit
referred to in subsection (a)(ii) of this section shall be
jointly and severally liable for the costs of the recount
requested by them up to five hundred dollars ($500.00) per
county recounted if the results of the election are not changed
by the recount.
(c) The result of the recount shall be the official result
of the election.
