certification of candidates and public questions by the election division, the election division
shall provide each county election board with a camera-ready copy of the device under which

of the device to the town election board of a town located wholly or partially within the
county upon request by the town election board.
(f) If a copy of the device is not filed in accordance with subsection (a) or (e), or unless
a device is designated in accordance with section 26 or 27 of this chapter, the county election
board or town election board is not required to use any device to designate the list of
candidates.
(g) If a device is filed with the election division or an election board after the
commencement of printing of ballots for use at an election conducted under this title, the
