PENNSYLVANIA, September 27 - committee, in cases where the rules of the party provide that

such office shall be filled by a vote of the party electors, who

receive a plurality of the votes of the party electors at a

primary, shall, except as provided under section 1405, be the

duly elected members of the State or National committee, as the

case may be, of their respective parties. Candidates for other

party offices, who receive a plurality of the votes of the party

electors at a primary, shall, except as provided under section

1405, be the party officers of their respective parties.

Section 2. Section 1405 of the act, amended October 31, 2019

(P.L.552, No.77), is amended to read:

Section 1405. Manner of Computing Irregular Ballots.--The

county board, in computing the votes cast at any primary or

election, shall compute and certify votes cast on irregular

ballots exactly as such names were written, stamped or deposited

in or on receptacles for that purpose, and as they have been so

returned by the election officers. In districts in which paper

ballots or ballot cards are electronically tabulated, stickers

or labels may not be used to mark ballots. A vote cast by means

of a sticker or label affixed to a ballot or ballot card shall

be void and may not be counted. In the primary or election the

Secretary of the Commonwealth shall not certify the votes cast

on irregular ballots for any person for a National office

including that of the President of the United States, United

States Senator and Representative in Congress; or for any State

office including that of Governor and Lieutenant Governor,

Auditor General, State Treasurer, Senator and Representative in

the General Assembly, justices and judges of courts of record or

for any party office including that of delegate or alternate

delegate to National conventions and member of State committee
