below the title of each office for which nominations are to be made and the names of
candidates for such nomination printed thereunder, there shall be provided on each primary
election ballot as many blank spaces as, but not more than, the number of nominations to be
made for such office, in which the voter may write the names of persons for whose
nomination he desires to vote, provided that inasmuch as candidates for the office of delegate
and alternate to the national and state conventions, member of the state central committee,
and member of the county central committee are elected at the primary election no blank
space shall be left on the ballot after the names of the candidates for such office, and no vote
shall be counted for any person whose name has been written in on said ballot for any of
such offices. If no person files and qualifies as a candidate for the office of member of the
