(1) process the ballot cards with the automatic tabulating machine provided to the precinct, if the vote is not automatically registered by the ballot card voting system;

(2) take the vote as tabulated under subdivision (1) or as automatically registered by the ballot card voting system;  and

(3) certify the totals and the ballot count as required under section 1 of this chapter on forms supplied to the precinct for that purpose.
