Brevard County Will Hold a Recount for

City of West Melbourne Council

Melbourne, FL – Nov. 8, 2024 – The Brevard County Canvassing Board has ordered a recount for the City of West Melbourne Council.

“For a recount to be called, the unofficial returns between candidates is one-half of a percent and in this case, the difference between two of the candidates is less than one-half of a percent,” stated Supervisor of Elections Tim Bobanic.

The Brevard County Canvassing Board will meet at 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, November 13th at the Election Support Center located at 525 N. John Rodes Blvd., Melbourne. The Board will conduct a machine recount for the City of West Melbourne. If the machine recount results in a margin of .25% or less, a manual recount will be ordered and will begin upon completion of the machine recount. A manual recount reviews the blanks, overvotes, and undervotes in the race.

The Canvassing Board has allotted Thursday the 14th for the recount to continue, if necessary.

Notice is hereby given that the machine and manual recounts will be conducted in accordance with Florida Statutes 102.141(7) and 102.166 and Florida Administrative Rule 1S-2.031.
