A recount effort regarding the May 23 special election on Ballot Measures B and C has concluded with no change in the certified results. The special election overturned the city’s approval of the proposed Cheval Blanc Beverly Hills Hotel project by a razor-thin margin of 80 and 81 votes.
Beverly Hills resident Sunny Sassoon filed a request for a manual recount of the 7,128 ballots counted in the election. That process, as well as a material review of some 170 rejected ballots, took place at the office of the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk (LARRCC) on June 13 and 14.
