Certification of tally book and statements of returns (voting machines).

115.485. At each polling place using voting machines, after the polling place is closed, the judges shall

(1) Certify in the tally book the number on the protective counter of each machine, the number of identification certificates signed and the number of proper write-in votes cast at the polling place. If the number of signed identification certificates is not the same as the number of votes cast as registered on the protective counters, the judges shall make a signed statement of the fact and the reasons therefor if known and shall return the statement with the statements of returns;

(2) Certify on two statements of returns the total number of votes cast for each candidate and for and against each question at the polling place;

(3) Certify that each statement made in the tally book and on each statement of returns is correct. If any judge declines to certify that all such statements are correct, he shall state his reasons in writing, which shall be attached to each statement of returns and returned to the election authority.
