(a) All officers for whom all voters in the city may vote; and
(b) Questions that have been submitted to all voters of the city.
4. The ballots voted at the special polling place must be counted when other ballots are counted and, if the ballots are ballots that are voted on a mechanical recording device that directly records the votes electronically, maintained in a separate sealed container until any contest of election is resolved or the date for filing a contest of election has passed, whichever is later.
