It is up to local counting officers to decide whether to request a recount - but only after they have given the provisional total to the chief counting officer.
There is no provision in law for a national recount."
It would be interesting to see how that process would stand up to an incredibly close result, say a NO vote by a few hundred.
Would it be a case of "Skip the recount go straight to the legal challenge"?
They would probably have to quell the riots first though.
