LISBON
A recount will be held at the town office Monday morning for the Schoool Committee position that no one ran for as a candidate or declared write-in candidate on Nov. 4.
The recount will take place at 8 a.m.
According to the notice on the recount hearing, an undeclared write-in candidate may request a recount to be treated as a “designated recount candidate” but only upon first submitting a written request for a recount, which was filed at 5 p.m. Nov. 12 at the town office by Gina Mason.
The person requesting the recount must make a deposit of half of the estimated cost of the recount, and if they aren’t determined as the winner of the election, must pay the actual cost of the recount.
“For the purpose of this recount, the ballots will be separated into two piles, blanks and write-ins, and then both blanks and writeins will be counted and recorded,” the notices states. “ The designated recount candidate may be present to observe the recount.”
