Paragraph 57 CA/CCA returning officer's re-countF1
Once the CA/CCA returning officer has received the report of any returning officer on the contents of his or her provisional statement prepared under rule 47(7) F2, 54(1) or 56(2),, the CA/CCA returning officer may direct the returning officer to re-count (or further re-count) the votes.
A re-count directed by the CA/CCA returning officer under paragraph (1) may be of the votes in all the electoral area, or in such part of the electoral area as the CA/CCA returning officer considers reasonable.
A returning officer must proceed with a re-count as soon as practicable after receipt of the CA/CCA returning officer's direction, and if not proceeding forthwith shall notify those counting observers entitled to be present at the re-count of the time and place at which the returning officer will begin to re-count the votes.
