Automatic recounts ordered for two contests.
Upon certification of the November 5, 2024 General Election it was determined that there are two contests that require full automatic recounts. A full automatic recount is conducted when the difference in the number of votes cast between an apparently elected and an apparently defeated candidate is not more than one-fifth of one percent of the total votes cast for the office (ORS 258.280). Clerk McMullen has ordered a full recount for the City of Gladstone, Councilor, Position 3 and the City of Molalla, Councilor (three positions) contests. The full automatic recounts will commence on Tuesday, Dec. 3.
Public access for the observation of elections processes including automatic recounts is welcome. Public observation continues to be open this week, Monday, Dec. 2, 1 – 5 p.m. and Tuesday, Dec. 3 - Friday, Dec. 6, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. at Clackamas County Elections, 1710 Red Soils Ct. in Oregon City.
