48-2687. Canvass of returns; declaration of
result
A. A poll list, tally list or certificate from an election held under the
provisions of this article shall not be set aside or rejected for want of form if it can
be satisfactorily understood.
B. The board of directors shall meet at the district office on the first Monday
after the election to canvass the returns. If at the time of meeting the returns from
each precinct in the district in which the polls were opened have been received, the
board of directors shall canvass the returns, or if all the returns have not been
received, the canvass shall be postponed from day to day until the returns have been
received, or until six postponements have been granted. The canvass shall be made in
public by opening the returns and determining from the tally lists the vote of the
district for each person voted for. The board of directors shall thereupon declare the
result of the election.
