Fifteen minutes before closing the polls, the time remaining before such closure shall be announced by an election official. When the polls are closed for the purposes of voting, that fact shall likewise be announced and thereafter no ballot shall be issued except to those voters who were present and waiting their turn to go through the voting procedure at the time prescribed for closing the polls. Failure to make the announcement at 15 minutes before closing time shall not in any way invalidate the election or extend the time for closing of the polls. [Ord. FY2023-05 §2, 2022; Ord. FY2009-19 §2, 2009; Ord. 86-22-O §2, 1986].
