Recounts

Updated September 1, 2004

Not all states provide for a recount process. In some states, a defeated candidate’s only remedy is to contest the result of the election in court. Other states do provide for recount processes, with varying degrees of specificity.

Automatic Recounts
Eighteen states provide for automatic recounts, which are conducted if the margin between the top two candidates is within certain parameters.
