Counting the ballots cast at every election held under the authority of this Charter shall be administered as provided by the general laws of the State of Ohio. The candidate having the largest number of votes for each office voted upon at the regular Municipal election shall be declared elected to the office. In case it cannot be determined which of two or more candidates shall be declared elected, by reason of the fact that they have received the same number of votes, the election authorities shall determine by lot which of the candidates shall be declared elected.
