A recount's ordered before vote's conclusion? She'll give the story (10)

I believe the answer is:

raconteuse

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'vote's conclusion? she'll give the story' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'a recount's ordered before' is the wordplay.
'ordered' is an anagram indicator.
'before' becomes 'e' (I've seen this in other clues).
'a'+'recounts'='arecounts'
'arecounts' is an anagram of 'raconteus'.
'raconteus'+'e'='RACONTEUSE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for raconteuse that I've seen before include "Teller of anecdotes" , "One with tales to tell" , "Teller of tales" .)
