R 168.925b Withdrawal of petition; discontinuance of recount.

Rule 25b. (1) If the individual petitioning for a recount withdraws the petition or discontinues the recount before its completion, the original return is determined correct regardless of any change shown by the recount of the precincts. It is not necessary for any counter petitioner to withdraw or ask for a discontinuance after a petitioner withdraws. (2) If the counter petitioner for a recount withdraws the petition or discontinues the recount, the original returns for all precincts involved are determined correct regardless of any changes shown by the recount at the time of the withdrawal. A counter petitioner shall not be allowed to withdraw if all precincts the counter petitioner petitioned have been recounted. If a counter petitioner withdraws, the recount of precincts petitioned for by the original petitioner must continue until the completion or until the original petitioner withdraws. (3) All withdrawals must be in writing signed by the petitioning party.
