A. The Assembly shall meet in public session to receive the report of the Canvass Board, as soon as is practicable. If the Canvass Board report or the Borough Clerk notes a failure to comply with state law and borough code or that an illegal election practice has occurred, then the Assembly may order further investigation or take other appropriate action such as excluding the votes cast or ordering a new election in one or more precincts where such failure or illegal practices occurred if such failure is sufficient to change the outcome of the election. If, after considering the report, the Assembly determines that the election was validly held, the election shall be certified and entered upon the minutes of the meeting, together with the total number of votes cast for each candidate and for or against each proposition or question.

B. Upon certification of a valid election, the Borough Clerk shall deliver to each person elected to office a certificate of election, signed by the Borough Clerk and authenticated by the seal of the Borough Clerk. (Ord. 2023-37 § 6, 2023; Ord. 2004-45 § 2, 2004. 2004 Code § 2.12.680.)
