§ 37-41-111 — Canvass of votes

No lists, tally paper, or certificates returned
from any election shall be set aside or rejected for want of form if they can be
satisfactorily understood. The board of directors must meet at its usual place of
meeting on the first Monday after election and canvass the returns. If at the time of
meeting the returns from each precinct in the district in which the polls were open
have been received, the board of directors must then and there proceed to canvass
the returns; but, if all the returns have not been received, the canvass must be
postponed from day to day until the returns have been received or until six
postponements have been had. The canvass must be made in public and by opening
the returns and counting the votes of the district for each person voted for and by
declaring the results thereof. The board shall declare elected the person receiving
the highest number of votes so returned for each office and also declare the result
of any question submitted.
