Election recounts in Lawrence, Palmer and Amesbury

There were a number of extremely close municipal elections earlier this month. At least three will be subject to recounts in the coming week: Lawrence mayoral election, Amesbury mayoral election, and Palmer casino approval question.

Recounts are open to the public and are a great way to see the nitty gritty of our elections and democracy firsthand. Below are details for all of the upcoming election recounts. (Please let me know if there are others and I will add them to the list.)
