CHAPTER 4
MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS
50-465. Counting of ballots. [effective until january 1, 2011] The ballots and polls lists agreeing, the election personnel shall then proceed to tally the votes cast. Under each office title the number of votes for each candidate shall be entered in the tally books together with the total. Any ballot or part of a ballot from which it is impossible to determine the elector’s choice, shall be void and shall not be counted. When a ballot is sufficiently plain to determine therefrom a part of the voter’s intention, it shall be the duty of the judges to count such part.
Following the counting, the election officials must post a correct copy of such results at the polling place and transmit a copy to the city clerk.
In no event shall the results of such count be released to the public until after 8 p.m. of election day.
