§ 7-126. Ballots; pasters, use of. 1. If a certificate of designation or nomination to fill a vacancy shall lawfully be filed with the board or officer required to furnish official ballots, or the board of elections shall receive from the state board of elections a notification of a new designation or nomination to fill a vacancy, after the official ballots have been printed, and before the election, the board or officer providing the official ballots shall prepare and furnish to the inspectors of election in each election district affected, adhesive pasters containing the name of the new candidate designated or nominated, with directions for the proper use thereof. 2. Each paster shall be of plain paper of the same color as the official ballot to which it is being affixed, printed in plain black ink and in the same kind of type used in printing the names of the candidates upon the official ballots, and shall be of a size as large as and no larger than the space occupied upon the official ballot by the name of the candidate in whose place the candidate named upon the paster has been designated or nominated. 3. Whenever such pasters are provided, the board or officer furnishing them shall certify to the inspectors of election in the election districts affected by the vacancy the name of the person originally designated or nominated, the name of the person designated in the new certificate, the title of the office or party position for which the designation or nomination is made, the name of the political party to which the committee making the designation or nomination belongs, and shall state the number of pasters furnished, which number shall be equal to the number of official ballots furnished for each such district. 4. The inspectors or clerks shall affix one of such pasters, in the proper place and manner, upon each official ballot before the ballot is delivered to the voter.
