The date on which the clerk receives an application rather than the date of mailing or transmission determines whether the application if filed within the time allowed under this subsection.

B.

If two or more candidates tie in having the highest number of votes for the same office, to which only one candidate is to be elected, the clerk shall initiate a recount.
