A judicial recount got underway Monday in a rural Newfoundland riding where the Liberals finished with a 12-vote lead.

Officials will recount every vote cast in the riding, and it could take a day or two before the results are known, Elections Canada said in an email Monday. The review will decide whether Liberal Anthony Germain or Conservative Jonathan Rowe represents the Terra Nova—The Peninsulas riding in Parliament.
