As soon as the polls are closed, the election judges shall immediately lock and seal each voting machine to prevent further voting. Immediately after each machine is locked and sealed, the election judges shall open the counting compartments and count the votes. After the total votes for each candidate and each ballot issue or ballot question, as applicable, have been ascertained, the election judges shall make a certificate of votes cast, in numerical figures only, and return the same to the designated election official as provided in section 1-13.5-613.
