Highlight

A writ of mandamus may be issued to compel performance of an act which the law specifically enjoins as a duty resulting from an office.
The plain language of N.D.C.C. 16.1-16-01(1)(a) requires an automatic recount when an individual fails to be nominated in a primary election by one percent or less of the highest vote cast for a candidate for the office sought and does not require the candidate with the highest vote to be in the same political party as the individual obtaining the recount.
