 shall also be immediately transmitted to the county clerk, and the county clerk shall transmit to
 the secretary of state, not later than 200 days prior to the primary next preceding the general
 November election, the number of election precincts in his county. The city, township, or
 village clerk shall give like notice of the abolition of the division of a city, ward, township, or
 village into election precincts, and shall, in the notice of abolition, state that the city, ward,
 township, or village is restored as a single election precinct and indicate the location of the
 polling place therein. Notice of the abolition shall be immediately transmitted to the county
 clerk, and by him to the secretary of state, as in the case of the subdivision or alteration of
