The votes cast on such question shall be counted by the election officers and returns thereof made by them, and by election officers where voting machines are used, to the prothonotary of the county, who shall lay the same before the return board for computation at the same time and in the same manner as other returns. Such election shall be governed by the election laws of the Commonwealth, and all penalties provided by said laws shall apply to such elections. The return board shall compute the said returns by municipalities, and certify the results of the vote cast on the question to the acting chief executive officer of each municipality affected.

If at the election in the year one thousand nine hundred and thirty-five (1935), where any such election was held as herein provided, a majority of the electors in any municipality voting at said election vote in favor of motion picture exhibitions on Sunday after the hour of two o'clock postmeridian, then upon the certification of such election return to the acting chief executive officer of such municipality, as is provided in this section, it shall thereafter be lawful to conduct, stage, manage, operate or engage in motion picture exhibitions from and after the hour of two o'clock postmeridian, on Sunday.

The right to conduct, stage, manage, operate or engage in such motion picture exhibitions shall be subject only to those rules and regulations which govern motion picture exhibitions on days of the week other than Sunday.

If the vote of the electors in the municipality was not in favor of motion picture exhibitions or if no such election was held, then it shall be unlawful to conduct, stage, manage, operate or engage in such motion picture exhibitions to which an admission charge is made or is incidental, after two o'clock postmeridian, on Sunday.
