(b) If the challenged voter's ballot is to be counted, counting center officials shall prepare the ballot for processing. The ballot shall be counted using procedures established by the chief election officer. In all cases, the secrecy of the ballot must be preserved. If the secrecy of the ballot cannot be preserved, the challenged ballot shall not be processed except to break a tie vote, as ordered by the appellate court. It shall be disposed of as provided by law.
