Section 9-114. Counting ballots; objections to

1. If objection be made to
  the counting of any ballot or as to any section of any such ballot,  the
  board  of inspectors shall forthwith and for canvassing any other ballot

  continued  after  this  ruling, the chairman shall write in ink upon the
  back of the ballot  a  memorandum  of  the  ruling  and  objection.  The
  memorandum  of  the  ruling  shall  be  in  the words "Counted void", or
  "Counted blank", or "Counted for (naming the candidate or candidates  or
  the presidential ticket)", or, in the case of a ballot proposal "Counted
  for  Proposal  No.......,"  or "Counted against Proposal No........", as
  the case may be. The memorandum of the objection shall be in  the  words
  "Objected  to",  followed  by  a  brief  statement  of the nature of the
  objection, the name and address of the challenger and the  signature  of
  the chairman.
    2.  Any  ballot  to  which  objection is not taken but which is wholly
  blank or is void shall be indorsed in ink by the chairman of  the  board
  of  inspectors  with the words "Wholly blank" or "Void", as the case may
  be, and signed by the chairman.
    3. When all the ballots of any one kind shall have been canvassed, the
  inspectors shall ascertain the total number of  wholly  blank  and  void
  ballots  and  the  number of ballots as to which any objection was taken
  and shall enter such numbers in  the  place  provided  therefor  in  the
  inspectors' returns of such canvass.
