The ballot question committee must use the form as required under section 865(3). A ballot question committee must file a recount petition in good faith and the number of votes requested to be recounted must, at a minimum, be greater than the difference between the \"yes\" votes and the \"no\" votes on the ballot question. If a ballot question committee did not participate in an election in which there was a ballot question on the ballot, any elector who voted in that election may file a recount petition concerning that ballot question in the same manner as provided for a ballot question committee under this section.","path":["MI Code","Chapter 168","Act Act-116-of-1954"],"source_url":"https://www.legislature.mi.gov/Laws/MCL?objectName=mcl-168-880","current_through":"2026-08-14","vintage":"open-us-law v2026.08, retrieved 2026-09-14","retrieved_at":"2026-09-14T18:32:31Z","sha256":"e6b52a1e97c5a13c0840d5e50bed665693cf626d716b41a555a8e1d17cc45650","source_id":"us-mi","stale":false,"prev":"us-mi/mich.-comp.-laws-168.879a","next":"us-mi/mich.-comp.-laws-168.880a"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
