Counting tonight is the unofficial count. Within 7 days (I believe) they conduct the official count. Generally seen as confirming the unofficial count.
In the case of a tie it automatically triggers a judicial recount.
Candidates can also appeal the official results and trigger a recount. For the life of me I can't remember what the number is.
I do know in 2008, when Paul Hinman lost Cardston-Taber-Warner, the he asked for and got a recount. It didn't change outcome lost by 39 votes.
