     § 5762.  Judges of election.
        Unless otherwise provided in a bylaw adopted by the members:
            (1)  In advance of any meeting of members, the board of
        directors or other body may appoint judges of election, who
        need not be members, to act at such meeting or any
        adjournment thereof. If judges of election are not so
        appointed, the presiding officer of any such meeting may, and
        on the request of any member shall, make such appointment at
        the meeting. The number of judges shall be one or three. No
        person who is a candidate for office shall act as a judge.
            (2)  In case any person appointed as judge fails to
        appear or fails or refuses to act, the vacancy may be filled
        by appointment made by the board of directors or other body
        in advance of the convening of the meeting, or at the meeting
        by the presiding officer thereof.
            (3)  The judges of election shall determine the number of
        members of record and the voting power of each, the members
        present at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, the
        authenticity, validity, and effect of proxies, if voting by
        proxy is permitted under the bylaws, receive votes or
        ballots, hear and determine all challenges and questions in
        any way arising in connection with the right to vote, count
        and tabulate all votes, determine the result, and do such
        acts as may be proper to conduct the election or vote with
        fairness to all members. The judges of election shall perform
        their duties impartially, in good faith, to the best of their
        ability, and as expeditiously as is practical. If there are
        three judges of election, the decision, act or certificate of
        a majority shall be effective in all respects as the
        decision, act or certificate of all.
            (4)  On request of the presiding officer of the meeting,
        or of any member, the judges shall make a report in writing
        of any challenge or question or matter determined by them,
        and execute a certificate of any fact found by them. Any
        report or certificate made by them shall be prima facie
        evidence of the facts stated therein.
