FOR THE RECORD - March 18, 2009
Recount cost: An article in Saturday’s Section A about 46,000 ballots that remain uncounted from the March 3 primary in Los Angeles said that candidates requesting a manual recount are required to pay a deposit of $2,171 per precinct plus 33 cents for each ballot, and that requesting a citywide recount in the mayoral race would cost more than $3 million. The city requires just one deposit of $2,171 plus 33 cents for each ballot. Therefore, requesting a recount in the mayoral election would cost less than $100,000.
