 Sec. 626.
     The board of county election commissioners shall prepare separate ballots for each of the
 several political parties for each election precinct in the county. The ballots shall be numbered
 consecutively and shall set forth the names of the candidates for delegates who have filed
 affidavits of identity with the county, city, or township clerk under section 624. The ballot
 shall be prepared in such a manner that the electors of each political party may write, print, or
 paste the name of a candidate for delegate on the ballot. The delegate ballot at a partisan
 primary shall consist of 1 sheet of 70-pound white book paper, machine finished or equivalent,
 with 1 of the political party tickets printed on each side of the ballot. The names on the
 delegate ballot shall not be rotated. The ballots shall be delivered to the county clerk for
 distribution to the election precincts at least 10 days before the primary election. However, if
 there is located within a county, subject to the provisions of this chapter, 1 or more cities or
 townships, or parts of cities or townships, in which voting machines are used, the board of
 county election commissioners may, in its discretion, dispense with the preparation of ballots
 for the election of delegates to the county convention of the several political parties and
 provide for their election upon the voting machines.
