the inspector shall open the ballot box and count the number of ballot
cards or envelopes containing ballot cards that have been cast to

exceeds the total number of voters, this fact shall be reported in writing
to the appropriate election officer together with the reasons for the
discrepancy, if known. The total number of voters shall be entered on
the tally sheets.
