The Provided, that the days on which the county clerk's such

when any election is held and the results of such election are
required by law to be returned to the county clerk, the office
of the county clerk shall remain open for the purpose of
receiving such results from the time of opening of the polls
until the returns from each precinct have been received.
(c) Any county clerk who fails to keep the clerk's office
open for the purpose of receiving election returns as required
by this Section commits a business offense, and shall be fined
not less than $500 nor more than $5,000.
