on which are recorded a predetermined number of valid votes for
each candidate and on each measure and shall include for each

candidate for an office, and for and against each measure. If
any error is detected, the cause of it shall be ascertained and
corrected and an errorless count shall be secured and certified
to by the county clerk. On completion of the count, the

recorded on the damaged or defective ballot. Damaged or
defective ballots shall be delivered with the returns to the
county clerk;

in the county has and uses an air gap.
