Here are the recount rules for all seven swing states in the 2024 election

Each of the seven major battle states has different rules governing how—and when—candidates can request a recount in the event of a close election.

Now, as voters continue to cast their ballots on Election Day, here’s a rundown of the rules each of the seven swing states — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — are using ahead of time. to order a recount and various types of recount applications that candidates can legally submit.

Arizona: Arizona law allows it for an automatic recount if the candidate with the most votes leads the nearest competitor by half of 1% or less of the total votes cast for both competitors.

Georgia: Georgia law does not require it any automatic recounts – however, a recount may be requested by either candidate if the winner’s margin of victory is 0.5% or less. The request must be made within two days of the certification of the results by the state.

Michigan: Michigan law allows candidates to request a recount based on “suspected fraud or error” in a precinct. The law requires candidates to submit the application — as well as a deposit — for each precinct in which they seek a recount within six days of the close of the canvassing process.

Nevada: Nevada allows candidates to send a written request for a recount within three working days of the certification of the state result. As in Michigan, candidates must pay the down payment in advance to cover the estimated costs of the recount.

The recount must also begin within five days of the Nevada Secretary of State’s office receiving the request.
