A. The Borough Clerk may issue rules prescribing the manner in which the precinct ballot count is accomplished so as to assure accuracy in the count and to expedite the process. The election board shall account for all ballots by completing a ballot statement containing (1) the number of official ballots received; (2) the number of official ballots voted; (3) the number of official ballots spoiled; (4) the number of official ballots unused and destroyed. The board shall count the number of questioned ballots and shall compare that number to the number of questioned voters in the register. Discrepancies shall be noted and the numbers included in the certificate prescribed by the Borough Clerk.

B. Ballots may not be counted before 8:00 p.m., local time, on the day of the election. (Ord. 2004-45 § 2, 2004. 2004 Code § 2.12.470.)
