(KNSI) — St. Cloud will recount the ballots next week in a narrow race for the city council.
During Tuesday’s Primary Election, Karen Larson took first place with 638 votes and advanced to November’s election. She will be joined by either Sandra Brakstad, who got 432 votes, or Seal Dwyer, who finished with 429 votes. Dwyer asked for the recount on Wednesday. Minnesota law allows a candidate to request a recount if the race is within half a percent.
The hand recount in Ward 2 will take place Wednesday at St. Cloud City Hall.
Both candidates can have representatives at the recount. The public can also watch.
