§ 914Withdrawal of Candidates

Any of the
candidates for nomination or election at any primary may
withdraw his name as a candidate by a request in writing, signed
by him and acknowledged before an officer empowered to
administer oaths, and filed in the office in which his
nomination petition was filed. Such withdrawals, to be
effective, must be received in the office of the Secretary of
the Commonwealth not later than 5 o'clock P. M. on the fifteenth
day next succeeding the last day for filing nomination petitions
in said office, and in the office of any county board of
elections, not later than the ordinary closing hour of said
office on the fifteenth day next succeeding the last day for
filing nomination petitions in said office. No name so withdrawn
shall be printed on the ballot or ballot labels. No candidate
may withdraw any withdrawal notice already received and filed,
and thereby reinstate his nomination petition.
