(1) No later than
twenty-two days after an election, the canvass board shall certify to the designated election
official the official abstract of votes cast for all candidates, ballot issues, and ballot questions in
that election.
(2) If the election is canceled pursuant to section 1-5-208, the designated election official
shall note the cancellation and the declared winner on the certified statement of results and the
abstract of votes cast, if one is prepared.
(3) If a recount is held and the result of the election changes after the recount, the

an election subject to a recount does not change after such recount, the canvass board shall
include a statement of that fact in the abstract of votes cast.

1-10-204. Imperfect returns. If the canvass board finds that the method of making or
certifying returns from any precinct does not conform to the requirements of law, the returns of
the votes cast in that precinct shall nevertheless be canvassed if the returns are sufficiently
explicit to enable the canvass board to determine how many votes were cast for each candidate,
ballot question, or ballot issue.
