§ 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 thirteen 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, twelfth
and thirteenth 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.
