16-618. Preparation, disposition and posting of
abstract of vote; exception to posting


At the time that the election board or tally board prepares the official election
returns, it shall also prepare and certify in duplicate upon a blank provided for that
purpose an abstract of the number of ballots cast at the election, the number rejected in
making the count, and the number of votes cast for each person for the several offices
and for or against each proposed constitutional amendment and initiated or referred
measure. One copy shall be mailed or delivered at the time and in the same manner as the
official returns, and the officer in charge of the election shall immediately upon its
receipt make public the contents of the copy. Except in those counties using automatic
vote tabulating equipment, the other copy shall immediately be posted conspicuously on
the outside of the polling place.
