Rule 54 Re‑countI1
Scotland
A candidate or such candidate’s election agent may, if present when the counting or re‑counting of the votes is completed, require the returning officer to have the votes re‑counted or again re‑counted but the returning officer may refuse to do so if in the returning officer’s opinion the request is unreasonable.
No step shall be taken on the completion of the counting or any re‑counting of votes until the candidates and election agents present at its completion have been given a reasonable opportunity to exercise the right conferred by this rule.
