Vellucci Maintains It's 'His Turn' To Be Next Mayor of Cambridge

Date Set for PR Recount

A recount of the proportional representation ballots cast on election day has been tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 28, Thomas J. Hartnett, Cambridge election commissioner, said yesterday.

The Cambridge Young Democrats filed a petition this week demanding a recount of the ballots which endorsed the city's PR system of voting by 455 votes. During the campaign, the group urged abolishment of PR.

Ten Democrats and ten Republicans will recount the ballots in the Commissioner's office; representatives of both the Young Democrats and the Cambridge Civic Association, which supports the PR system, will be present.

"If no conflicts or other obstacles arise," Hartnett predicted yesterday, "the counting should be finished within one day."
