(Atlantic) The Cass County Board of Supervisors approved the request during a special meeting on Friday afternoon to consider a request for a recount in the Atlantic School District Director At-Large race from the November 4, 2025, City/School Election.
The qualifying request came from school board candidate Justin Williams, whose vote total was within less than 1% of the winning candidate.
With the Board’s approval, the recount will begin at 9 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 17. No other qualifying requests were submitted.
A recount can be requested if there is a 0.15% difference in the vote margin in a federal or statewide race. It can also be requested in state legislative or local races if the margin is the lesser of 1% or 50 votes. The recount can be requested up to three days after the county canvass. The deadline for completion is 18 days after a request is received.
