The schedule for the recount is as follows:
- Tuesday, Nov, 24: 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
- Wednesday, Nov. 25: 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
- Friday, Nov. 27: 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
- Saturday, Nov. 28: 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
- Sunday, Nov. 29: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
- Monday, Nov. 30: 9 a.m. until completion
The recount will be done by machine and takes place at 7946 N. McDonough Street in Jonesboro. Clayton County taxpayers will foot the bill.
Observers must wear an official county Elections and Registration badge.
