Section 7-102. Ballot; placing names and ballot proposals thereon

1. The
  names of all candidates and the form of submission of all duly certified
  ballot proposals shall be printed upon the official ballot  except  that
  at  a  primary  election, no ballot proposals or names of candidates for
  uncontested offices  or  party  positions  shall  be  printed  upon  the
  official ballot.
    2.  In  the  event  that  two or more persons with identical names are
  designated as candidates for the same office or position at any  primary
  election,  a  different  number shall be included with the name of every
  candidate for such office or position on such ballot.  Such number shall
  be in arabic numerals and shall be placed at the beginning of each  such
  candidate's  name. The board of elections with which the certificates or
  petitions of designation for such candidates are filed  shall  determine
  such  numbers  by lot not later than ten days after the last day to file
  such certificates or petitions upon at least five days written notice by
  first class mail to each such candidate. Such notice shall also  contain
  information  concerning  the  provisions  of  subdivision  four  of this
  section and the deadlines for filing the  information  provided  for  in
  such subdivision four.
    3.  a.  In  the  event that a candidate in a primary election believes
  that the name of another candidate for the same office  or  position  at
  such  election  is  sufficiently similar to his so as to cause confusion
  among the voters, such candidate may, not later than five days after the
  last day to file the certificates or petitions of designation, file with
  the board of elections with which  such  certificates  or  petitions  of
  designation  are  filed, a request that such board determine that such a
  sufficient similarity exists.
    b. The board of elections shall meet to hear arguments on, and make  a
  determination  with respect to such a request, not later than seven days
  after the last day to make such request, upon five days  written  notice
  by first class mail to every candidate for such office or position. Such
  notice  shall  also  contain  information  concerning  the provisions of
  subdivision four of this  section  and  the  deadlines  for  filing  the
  information provided for in such subdivision four.
    c.  If such board makes a determination that such a similarity exists,
  it shall forthwith assign a different number, which it  shall  determine
  by  lot, to be included with the name of every candidate for such office
  or position on such ballot. Such number shall be in arabic numerals  and
  shall be placed at the beginning of each such candidate's name.
    4.  a.  If such board assigns numbers to candidates' names pursuant to
  the provisions of subdivision two or three of this section it shall also
  prepare for distribution at such  election,  a  leaflet  which  contains
  biographical information on each such candidate, on one side of a single
  sheet  of  paper  in  the  order  of the numbers it has assigned to such
  candidates. If such  leaflet  is  published  in  a  second  language  in
  addition  to English, the two language versions shall appear on opposite
  sides of the same sheet of paper. Such biographical information may  not
  exceed  one  hundred  words  and may only include such candidate's name,
  address,  present  and  past  public  offices  held,  present  and  past
  occupations  and employers, other public service experience, educational
  background and organizational affiliations.
    b. Each candidate for an office or position for which such numbers are
  assigned may file with such board, not later than  fourteen  days  after
  such determination, any or all of the information permitted by paragraph
  a  of  this  subdivision in the form in which such candidate wishes such
  information to appear in such leaflet. If  such  board  determines  that
  such  filing  does not comply with the requirements of this subdivision,
  it shall notify such candidate  forthwith  by  first  class  mail.  Such

  candidate  may  file  revised information with such board not later than
  ten days after such notice was mailed. If a candidate does  not  make  a
  filing  within  the  times  prescribed  by this paragraph, the words "no
  information supplied" shall appear next to his name on such leaflet.
