262. Any person who has reasonable grounds to believe that a deputy returning officer, a poll clerk or the returning officer has improperly counted or rejected votes or has drawn up an incorrect statement of the number of votes cast in favour of a candidate may apply for a recount of the votes. The application may be limited to one or certain polling subdivisions but the judge is not bound by that limitation.
Any person who has reasonable grounds to believe that the returning officer improperly compiled the votes cast in favour of a candidate may apply for a re-addition of the votes.
The first paragraph does not apply where the returning officer applies for a recount of the votes in the case of a tie.
