E. Tallying Votes <br /> <br /> After voting has been completed in a particular category, <br />ballots will be taken out of the box and counted to verify that <br />the number of ballots does not exceed the number of signatures on <br />the Roster of Voters. Three staff members of the Election <br />Administrator will tally the votes. One person will take the <br />ballots, one at a time, and read the voted names on the that <br />ballot. If there are more marked votes than asked for on that <br />ballot, the ballot shall be VOIDED. A second person will check <br />off the votes on a tally sheet. The third person will verify <br />that the correct names are marked on the tally sheet. <br /> <br /> The candidates who receive the most votes shall be elected <br />to the available positions in each category. Winning candidates <br />shall take office at the commencement of the first PAC meeting <br />held following City council certification of the PAC election. <br />In the event of a tie vote for the last winning position, none of <br />the tied oandidates shall be elected; provided, however, that the <br />PAC shall at its next regularly scheduled meeting fill vacancies <br />resulting from the tie vote, choosing only from among the tied <br />candidates. <br /> <br /> After the count of votes and ballots have been verified, the <br />semi-official results of the election shall be announced to the <br />persons remaining at the meeting. <br /> <br /> The Election Administrator will retain all ballots and tally <br />sheets until the election is approved by the City Council. Once <br />the election has been approved by the City Council, ballots and <br />tally sheets shall be retained in the offices of the Community <br />Development Agency and become available to the public. They will <br />be made available upon request, during normal business hours, in <br />accordance with Agency Public Records procedures. Ballots for <br />any particular election need not be retained for more than three <br />months; tally.sheets should be retained as part of the PAC's <br />normal records. <br /> <br />F. Unspecified Procedures. <br /> <br /> For any procedure not specified herein, the Election Admin- <br />istrator shall conduct the election in accordance with generally <br />accepted election procedures. <br /> <br />VI. QUALIFYING CANDIDATES AND VOTERS <br /> <br /> The eligibility requirements for PAC candidates are the same <br />as for persons who are eligible to vote for PAC candidates.
