This Chapter sets out the requirements and procedures to be used by the City Clerk in counting the ballots and counting the votes in elections conducted by the City Clerk and governed by this Code. The requirements of this Chapter shall be liberally construed in favor of the voter so that the City Clerk shall count all votes cast by eligible voters where the voter's choice can be ascertained. However, no vote shall be counted unless the voter is in fact eligible to vote on the particular contest for which votes are being counted.
