RE: Recount of Ballots for School Board At-Large Seat for election held on March 10, 2026 in Strafford County
A recount has been requested for School Board At-Large Seat for election held on March 10, 2026 in Strafford County.
This recount of ballots cast will be held on Friday, March 20, 2026 at 1:00 PM at Madbury Town Hall, 13 Town Hall Road, Madbury, NH 03823. The recount will continue until finished, unless there is a vote by the Board of Recount to recess or continue the recount, which is publicly announced.
You may be present and may also bring an attorney if you wish. There will be no more than six (6) teams counting the ballots in this recount. You are entitled to one observer for each team. If you fail to have one observer for each team present, for each team that you do not have an observer you waive your right to monitor and protest how that team counts each ballot. You and your observers will have one opportunity to observe each ballot and to see how the counting team counts that ballot. If you, or an observer representing you, does not protest how the team is counting a ballot at the moment when it is being counted, you waive the right to protest how that ballot is counted. Protested ballots will be voted on by the Board of Recount.
Appeals to a Court from a decision of the Board of Recount ate typically limited to an examination of protested ballots. Therefore, if you do not have an observer for each counting team or if you or your observers do not protest how the counting teams count specific ballots you will have no protested ballots to bring before a Court.
A copy of the standard recount procedures is enclosed. The Board of Recount may vote to adopt special procedures at the recount. If you have further questions regarding the time and location of the recount please contact me at 603-550-2592, if you have questions regarding the recount procedure please contact the moderator at moderator@orcsd.org.
