SB173 changes how candidates can request election recounts by centralizing the petition process through the Secretary of State instead of filing separately with each county auditor. The bill tightens the timeline for completing recounts to 14 days and clarifies procedures for multi-county recounts, including allowing candidates to request presence at each county's recount.
