Section 9-202. Canvass of primary returns by state board of elections; convention rolls

The state board of elections upon receipt by  it  from
  boards  of  elections  of the tabulated statements of votes at a primary
  election required to be filed with it shall proceed forthwith to canvass
  such statements. Upon the completion  of  the  canvass  it  shall  make,
  certify  and  file  in  its office tabulated statements 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
  shall be the nominee of his party for such office or shall be elected to
  such  party  position,  as the case may be, and the board, if requested,
  shall furnish to the elected candidates a certificate of election.  From
  such  certified  statements  of  the  votes for delegates and alternates
  elected to a state or judicial district convention of any  party,  other
  than  a  judicial district convention in the first, second, eleventh and
  twelfth judicial districts, the state board shall forthwith compile  the
  roll  of  each  such  convention  in duplicate and transmit it, if for a
  state convention, to the chairman and secretary of the  state  committee
  of the party, and if for a judicial district convention, to the chairman
  and  secretary  of  the committee which, by party rules, is empowered to
  fix the time and place of the convention. The  roll  of  the  convention
  shall list the candidates elected at a primary in the order of the votes
  received by each candidate together with the number of votes received by
  each  such candidate. If there shall have been no contested election for
  alternates, the names of the alternates shall appear on the roll in  the
  order in which their names appear on the petition which designated them.
  The  state  board  of  elections  shall transmit copies of the certified
  statements of the votes for  delegates  and  alternates  to  a  national
  convention  of  a  party  to  the  chairman  and  secretary of the state
  committee of such party.
