Okla. Stat. tit. 26, § 26-8-116: Recount may cease - Rights of contestee

Should the contestant at any time during the proceeding desire

that the recount be terminated, he may announce the same to the

county election board. In such event, the recount shall end at that

point, and any changes be made a part of the certificate of vote.

Provided further, however, that should any contestee desire that the

recount continue, he may petition in writing at the time of said

announcement for the remainder of the ballots in that county to be

recounted. Said petition must be filed immediately with the county

election board conducting said recount, and petition must be

accompanied by either a cashier's check or certified check in an

amount equal to the deposit made by the contestant to conduct the

recount. If said recount was ordered by the Secretary of the State

Election Board, said check shall be transmitted forthwith to the

State Election Board. In the event contestee files such petition,

the recount shall continue until such time as all the ballots in

said county have been recounted, and the recount is complete.

Recounts of issue or question elections shall not cease until all

precincts and absentee ballots in the designated county or counties

have been recounted.
