This bill clarifies when recount boards must meet after someone requests a recount in a primary election. Instead of requiring the board to always convene on the second Monday after filing (or the next day if that's a holiday), the bill allows the judge overseeing the recount to pick an alternative date if needed to avoid conflicts with the election process and ensure witnesses can attend.
