Rocky View County (RVC) election officials are conducting a recount today for division 2, where 24 votes divided incumbent Jerry Arshinoff and challenger Kim McKylor.

McKylor won the race by the slim margin, close enough that a recount has been requested. She received 519 votes to Arshinoff's 495 in the initial count.

Once a recount is called, all seals on the ballot boxes are broken and all ballots recounted, explains RVC. If the recount finds any errors, the returning officer corrects the ballot count.

Rocky View County’s Returning Officer will conduct the recount today, Oct. 19.  If any change in vote count occurs, it will be announced, and then reflected in the official election results, which are being released at noon this Friday.
