Sec 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.
