Castle Rock on Monday will conduct a recount of the votes from an Aug. 19 special election in public buildings and parks.
The Castle Rock Election Commission met Thursday to hammer out the procedures to be followed for a recount, which was prompted by three requests for such action from representatives of issue committees and a registered voter.
The commission evaluated procedures for election judges, for use of the Accuvote machine, for system testing and for an audit trail.
Referendum A, which asked whether the town manager should lose the authority to ban the open carry of firearms in public buildings and parks, squeaked by — 50.8 percent to 49.2 percent.
Referendum B, which asked whether future firearms restrictions in Castle Rock should be decided by voters, passed easily — 71 percent to 29 percent.
Ballots from both referendums will undergo the recount.
