The Okaloosa County Supervisor of Elections has issued a public notice for a recount in the hotly contested Board of County Commissioners District 3 primary race.

  • Paul Lux, Supervisor of Elections for Okaloosa County, announced that the county’s Canvassing Board will meet at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, August 24, 2024, to conduct a machine recount. The recount will take place at the Okaloosa County Supervisor of Elections Office in Crestview.

The notice comes after preliminary results showed a razor-thin margin between the top two candidates in the District 3 race. Sherri Cox led with 7,597 votes, while Keri Pitzer trailed by just 13 votes with 7,584. This difference falls well within Florida’s 0.5% threshold for a mandatory recount.

According to the notice, if a manual recount becomes necessary, it will begin immediately following the machine recount. The Canvassing Board is prepared to continue the recount on Sunday, August 25, 2024, if required.
