(c) Forthwith after the completion of the election the Returning Officer shall, by notice exhibited on the outside of the office of the Board, and by advertisement in a newspaper circulating in the locality of the school, notify the names of the persons elected, the number of valid votes recorded for each candidate, and the total number of votes rejected as informal:

(d) The Returning Officer and every clerk or other person employed by him and every scrutineer shall be required faithfully and impartially to perform the duties of their offices, and shall not directly or indirectly make known the state of the poll or give or pretend to give any information by which the state of the poll may be known before the final declaration thereof by the Returning Officer, or make known for which candidate any voter has voted, or communicate to any person any information likely to defeat the secrecy of the ballot.

(20) If a candidate informs the Returning Officer in writing not later than three clear days before the closing of the poll that he retires from the election, the Returning Officer shall give public notice thereof; and if by such retirement the number of candidates is reduced to the number of vacancies to be filled, the Returning Officer shall publicly declare the remaining candidates to be duly elected; but if the said number of candidates is not so reduced the poll shall proceed, but the person so retiring shall not be capable of being elected.

(21) The Returning Officer shall be the sole and absolute judge of the regularity and propriety of all matters connected with an election, and no election shall be called in question on the ground that a voting paper or an addressed envelope was not posted to any elector, or that a voting paper from any elector was not received by the Returning Officer, or that a voting paper prepared by the Returning Officer was irregular in form, or that any vote was irregularly cast, or that any votes were wrongly computed, or that any other irregularity occurred in connection with the election, unless in the opinion of the Returning Officer (whose decision shall be final) the irregularity materially affected the result of the election or occurred otherwise than in good faith.
