As of Thursday night, following the canvassing of the First Unofficial Results of the August 18, 2020, Primary Election, the Okaloosa County Canvassing Board has ordered a machine recount of the ballots for the Okaloosa County Commission District 5 race.

150 votes separates Parker Destin from Mel Ponder, who is currently ahead. Any election less that a 0.5% difference goes to a recount.

The recount will occur at the Okaloosa County Supervisor of Elections Office, 302 N Wilson St., STE 102, Crestview, Florida 32578. The recount will be open to the public.
