Sometimes news media representatives contact Precinct Officials to report election results on election night. It is permissible, but not required, for Precinct Officials to do this. Under no circumstances may any election results be reported until after a Detail and Tally Report has been posted on the door of the polling place. If the Secretary of the County Election Board includes a special form in the election supplies to be used to report the precinct's results for the local news media, the Inspector completes it as instructed and returns it to the County Election Board office with the other election materials.
