In the early hours of Sunday, August 25, 2024, the Okaloosa Supervisor of Elections office released the official results of the highly anticipated recount for the County Commissioner District 3 Republican primary race.

  • Sherri Cox has been declared the winner, maintaining her lead by a slim margin.

The final tallies after the recount are as follows:

  • Sherri Cox: 7,604 votes
  • Keri Pitzer: 7,590 votes
  • Andrew Rencich: 7,377 votes
  • Heath Rominger: 5,209 votes
  • Wade Albert Merritt: 4,506 votes

Cox’s victory was confirmed just before 2 a.m. on Sunday, concluding a tense recount process that began on Saturday morning. The final results show Cox winning by 14 votes, a slight increase from the 13-vote lead she held in the initial count.

The recount was triggered automatically due to the extremely close margin between Cox and Pitzer, falling well within Florida’s 0.5% threshold for a mandatory recount.
