No registration of voters shall be made or required for holding any county seat election under this Division. The board of election shall, in each township, precinct or ward, keep two lists or poll books of the names of the persons whose votes are received; each name shall be numbered, and a corresponding number marked on each ballot before it is placed in the ballot box, which said poll books shall each be certified as correct by the judges of election. At the close of the polls in each precinct, township or ward, the board of election shall canvass the votes cast at such poll or voting district, and shall make two tally lists, one of which, together with one of the aforesaid poll books, and the ballots cast in such precinct, township or ward, properly strung, and the affidavits made at such election, and certificate of the result of the election made and certified by such board, shall be sealed up together and delivered by one of the board of election, to be selected by the board at that time, to the county clerk, within four days thereafter. The other poll book and tally list shall be retained by one of the judges of election for that township, precinct or ward.
