In the case of a regional school district referendum where there is a tabulation of the vote as a whole, the moderators in the district shall proceed forthwith to cause such recanvass to be made upon such tabulation.(1971, P.A. 438; P.A. 98-96.)History: P.A. 98-96 added provision re recanvass in regional school district referendum; (Revisor's note: During the preparation of the 1999 revision the words 'shall proceed forthwith to cause a recanvass of such returns to be made as' were omitted from the first sentence of this section following the word 'moderator,' due to a computer or clerical error. The omitted wording was reinstated editorially by the Revisors).
