§ § 16.1-15-14Failure to comply with formalities not to invalidate election - Evidence of

compliance.
Failure by election board officers to comply with any of the formalities required by this

otherwise regular to be disregarded. Any omission or irregularity in the manner of identifying or
returning the ballots of any precinct may be obviated by proof under the ordinary rules of
evidence.
