ballot shall be folded and deposited in a ballot box or other container where
it will be kept until such time as it is counted.
(5) As soon as the polls close and the last
vote is cast, the poll holders shall immediately open the ballot boxes or other
containers, count each ballot and tabulate the results of the count. Any
interested individual may be present and observe the counting of the votes and
the tabulation of the results.

After each ballot has been counted and the results tabulated, the poll holders
shall place the marked ballots into some kind of container which shall be
sealed. This container, along with a certification of the results of the count
of the ballots, shall be delivered immediately to the Chairman of the
Referendum Committee of the Certified Association. Within ten (10) days of the
Referendum Committee having received all the certified results from Baldwin and
Mobile counties in the State, it shall tabulate, publicly declare, and announce
the results of the referendum. Also, within ten (10) days of receipt of the
