A. In any contest of an election, a ballot is void if the voter overstated the volume of production of the producer by more than ten percent (10%). Any other error in stating volume of production is not grounds for invalidating the ballot.
B. If a ballot is void or if any other error is made in stating production volume, the returns shall be corrected and the results adjusted accordingly.
C. In the original referendum election, the Commissioner shall be authorized and is responsible for making the determination if a ballot is void due to overstatement of production volume. In any subsequent referendum elections the individual commodity producer boards are authorized and shall be responsible for making such determination.
