This section requires only that the ordinary (election superintendent) shall receive returns of election held and ascertain and immediately declare result thereof. No method or manner by which the ordinary may determine and announce result of election is provided; and there is no provision in the statutes for a contest or other hearing before the ordinary. It is clear that the acts of the ordinary were not judicial, but were ministerial or administrative, and that they are not reviewable by certiorari. Brockett v. Maxwell, 73 Ga. App. 663, 38 S.E.2d 176 (1946).
