After Recount, Montgomery Co. Sets Date To Certify Election Results

NORRISTOWN, PA — Montgomery County has completed its recount of undated or incorrectly dated mail-in ballots from the 2023 election, and officials will meet to finally certify the results on Monday, Dec. 4.

The recount of 349 votes took place over the past several days in the wake of a federal court case that mandated that undated mail-in ballots must be included in final tallies. Results were formally completed on Monday, but election code mandates a five day waiting period before they are certified.

In Montgomery County, the recount has made two very close races even closer. The Towamencin Board of Supervisors race between Rich Marino and Kofi Osei is tied. And a Horsham Council race is separated by just a few dozen votes.

Candidates in the Towamencin race have a few days to challenge the results. Otherwise, the pair will draw random numbers to determine the winner, in accordance with state law.

The certification will take place at One Montgomery Plaza in Norristown and can be watched online here.
