Daily Election Recount Summary

Here's a summary of what happened today regarding the statewide recount of the Nov. 8 presidential election:

  • U.S. District Court Judge Mark Goldsmith ordered the recount to begin by noon today. Both Oakland and Ingham counties began recounts, with other counties to begin Tuesday and later this week. A schedule is available by both date and by county here. Please check the schedule for any changes.
  • A Board of State Canvassers meeting scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 6, was cancelled.
  • We're working to make unofficial counts from the county recounts available to you. We hope to do that as early as Tuesday.
