Section 9-200. Canvass of primary returns by board of elections; notices to delegates; certificates

1. The board of  elections  shall  canvass  the
  returns  of  primary elections filed with it. It shall canvass first the
  votes of the delegates and alternates to judicial  district  conventions
  and  complete  such  canvass  at  the  earliest  time possible. It shall
  complete the canvass otherwise within nine days from the day upon  which
  the  primary  election  is  held. Upon the completion of the canvass the
  board shall make and file in its office tabulated statements, signed  by
  the  members of such board or a majority thereof, of the number of votes
  cast for all the candidates for nomination to each public office or  for
  election  to  each party position, and the number of votes cast for each
  such candidate. The candidate receiving the highest number of votes  for
  nomination for a public office or for election to a party position voted
  for  wholly  within  the  political unit for which such board is acting,
  shall be the nominee of his party for such office  or  elected  to  such
  party  position  and the board, if requested by a candidate elected to a
  party position, shall furnish to him a certificate of election.
    2. The board forthwith upon the completion of the canvass for  members
  of  a  state committee and delegates and alternates to a national, state
  or judicial district convention, shall transmit to the  state  board  of
  elections a certificate stating the name and residence of each member of
  a  state  committee  and  delegate and alternate elected from a district
  wholly within the jurisdiction of such board, except that, in respect to
  a judicial district  convention  in  the  first,  second,  eleventh  and
  twelfth   judicial   districts,  the  board  of  elections,  instead  of
  transmitting such certificate, shall compile the roll of the  convention
  and  transmit it to the chairman or secretary of the committee which, by
  party rules, is empowered to fix the time and place of  the  convention.
  The board of elections shall send by mail to each delegate and alternate
  elected  a  notice  of  his  election.  The  certificate  or roll of the
  convention shall list the delegates and alternates elected at a  primary
  in  the  order of the votes received by each delegate or alternate, with
  the delegate or alternate receiving the highest number of  votes  listed
  first.  Tie votes shall be indicated in a manner prescribed by the state
  board of elections. If there shall have been no contested  election  for
  alternates,  the names of the alternates shall appear on the certificate
  or roll in the order in which their names appeared on the petition which
  designated them.
    3. The board forthwith, upon the completion of the canvass, shall file
  with the state board of elections a  certified  copy  of  its  tabulated
  statement  of  the votes cast for each nomination or party position in a
  district extending beyond the political unit  for  which  the  board  is
  acting.
    4.  The  state board of elections, upon the request of the chairman of
  the state committee of any political party, shall furnish to him a  list
  of the duly elected members of the state committee of such party.
    5.  There shall be included in the official compilation of the canvass
  of the returns, the names of the persons who shall have  been  nominated
  for public office or elected to party position without balloting, and in
  each   such  case  the  word  "uncontested"  shall  be  placed  in  such
  compilation wherever the vote cast for such a candidate is  required  to
  be stated.
