All ballots cast by an owner of property within the boundaries of a proposed maintenance assessment district must be received by the city clerk no later than the day of the protest hearing, regardless of whether such ballot is personally returned to the city clerk or returned to the city clerk by mail. Ballots may be submitted, changed, or withdrawn prior to the conclusion of the public testimony on the proposed assessment at the protest hearing. Any ballot delivered to the city clerk after the conclusion of the public testimony at the protest hearing shall be deemed invalid.
