or certificates of nomination have been filed with the Board and direct the

election the names of such candidates in the same manner and in the same
order as shown upon the certification.

papers have been filed with such clerk and declare that the names of such
candidates for the respective offices shall be placed upon the official
ballot for the general primary in the order in which such nomination papers
were filed with the clerk, or as determined by lot, or as otherwise
specified by statute. Each county clerk shall place a copy of the
certification on file in his or her office and at the same time issue to
the board of election commissioners a copy of the certification that has been
filed in the county clerk's office, together with a copy of the
certification that has been issued to the clerk by the State Board of
Elections, with directions to the board of election commissioners to place
upon the official ballot for the general primary in that election
jurisdiction the names of all candidates that are listed on such
certification in the same manner and in the same order as shown upon such
certifications.
The certification shall indicate, where applicable, the following:
(1) The political party affiliation of the candidates | for the respective offices; |
(2) If there is to be more than one candidate elected | or nominated to an office from the State, political subdivision or district; |
(3) If the voter has the right to vote for more than | one candidate for an office; |
(4) The term of office, if a vacancy is to be filled | for less than a full term or if the offices to be filled in a political subdivision or district are for different terms. |
The State Board of Elections or the county clerk, as the case may be,
shall issue an amended certification whenever it is discovered that the
original certification is in error.
Subject to appeal, the names of candidates whose nomination papers have
been held invalid by the appropriate electoral board provided in Section
10-9 of this Code shall not be certified.
