Tuesday night's results include vote by mail, early voting and all election day precincts, the city reports. The first unofficial returns will be reported and certified at 5 p.m. on Thursday, April 27.
"If the first unofficial returns reflect that a candidate for any office was defeated or eliminated by one-half of a percent or less of the votes cast for such office, a machine recount is triggered (FS 102.141)," according to the Hillsborough County Supervisor of Elections. "If the results of the machine recount are within one-fourth of one percent or less, a manual recount will then be conducted.
"If a recount is required, it is scheduled to begin Friday, April 28, at 8 a.m."
