HB 1581 Recounts; special election to be held in the case of a tie vote.
Introduced by: Marcia S. "Cia" Price | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Recounts; special election to be held in the case of a tie vote. Provides that if, after a recount of an election, the recount court finds that each party to the recount has received an equal number of votes, there shall be a special election to determine which candidate is elected to the office. This provision would not apply in cases of recounts of elections for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, or Attorney General; the Constitution of Virginia sets out the process for determining a winner in the case of tie votes for statewide offices.
