• (a) A registered voter or, in the case of a union school district, at least one registered
  voter from each member of the union district may demand a recount of ballots on any

  the total votes cast on the question. (b) The request shall be filed with the municipal clerk within 10 days after the vote.
  The procedure shall be the same as in the case of recount of the votes cast for a
