House Roll Call 218: Passed

To require a candidate who asks for an election recount to pay a deposit of $100 for each precinct requested unless the vote differential were more than one-half of one percent, or 50 votes (whichever was greater), in which case the deposit would have to equal 100 percent of the estimated cost of the recount. Under current law a candidate must pay a $10 deposit per precinct.
