Preliminary recount of councillor (ward 12) votes cast

Under the authority of Section 98(1)(b)(ii) of the Local Authorities Election Act (LAEA), the Returning Officer will make a recount of councillor (ward 12) votes cast at all voting stations in the 2025 General Election.

Section 98(1)(b) of the LAEA provides that a returning officer may make a recount of votes cast at one or more voting stations if any of the following apply:

The returning officer considers that the number of either of the following was sufficient to affect the result of the election if they had not been objected to or rejected:

(i)    valid ballots objected to;

(ii)   rejected ballots other than those on which no vote has been cast by an elector.

On examination of the unofficial results, there were sufficient rejected ballots other than those on which no vote has been cast by an elector to affect the result of the election of councillor (ward 12).

The recount will be held:

Date: Thursday, October 23, 2025

Time: 9:00 a.m.

Location: The Big Four Roadhouse, 1801 Big Four Trail SE

Following the recount, the ward 12 councillor contest ballot account will be corrected, if necessary.  Any changes to the unofficial result will be communicated by the Returning Officer.

Official results will be made available by 12 p.m. (noon) on Oct. 24, 2025.
