Section 577 Disposition versions

1999-04-01

577. Where the results of the poll certified by the judge following a recount or re-addition of the votes show a tie-vote, the mayor or, as the case may be, the warden may give a voice vote at the next council sitting after the judge’s decision.

The vote shall be counted as if it had been cast by a person whose name is entered on the referendum list.

The first two paragraphs do not apply where, according to the provisions governing the referendum, an affirmative vote by the mayor or the warden is not sufficient to cause the by-law, resolution or ordinance to be deemed to be approved by the qualified voters.
