The Board of Elections was expected to certify the results of the Queens district attorney Democratic primary Monday, following a recount that put Borough President Melinda Katz ahead of public defender Tiffany Cabán by about 60 votes.

The certification is scheduled for 1 p.m. at the BOE executive office in lower Manhattan.

Katz declared victory Thursday after the completion of the recount of about 91,000 ballots.

“I am so proud that the people of the borough I have served for so many years have given us this victory today,” Katz said in a statement.

But Cabán’s team was set to move forward with a legal challenge on more than 100 ballots it says were wrongly invalidated by the BOE. The contested ballots include affidavit ballots cast by voters at the wrong polling sites and affidavits that didn’t have the word “Democrat” written on them.
