in which each provisional ballot cast, canvassed, and tallied in each election is
reported as part of the official tally of the results of the election in a manner
that preserves the privacy of the voter's vote. Whenever the reporting requirement of this subsection would cause a voter's privacy
to be violated, the election results shall be reported in a manner that maintains
the privacy of the vote, provided that the election results posted on the respective
websites shall contain a disclosure stating that the results reported for some individual
districts reflect measures to protect the privacy of the vote while the general tally
accurately reflects the results, and provided further that the reports for those individual
districts shall not be subject to disclosure under the provisions of P.L.1963, c.
73 ( C.47:1A-1 et seq. ), commonly known as the open public records act.
