The date and time balloting will terminate and the manner in which ballots may be returned to the District.

The ballots will be prepared and distributed in a manner so as to insure a secret ballot. The Election Superintendent shall hold all ballots unopened until the date and time of election. Upon the close of the balloting, all ballots will be opened and counted by two supervisors, neither of whom are running for office in the election for which they are counting ballots, in the presence of the Election Superintendent. The Election Superintendent shall tabulate the results of the election showing total votes cast, the number of void ballots, and the number of votes received by each candidate. The candidate who receives a plurality of votes cast is elected supervisor. In the event of a tie vote, a runoff election is held.
