 Sec. 719.
    The election commission of each city and township shall perform those duties relative to the
 preparation, printing, and delivery of ballots as are required by law of the boards of county
 election commissioners. The duties and privileges enjoined and granted by this act upon and to
 the various committees of the different political organizations are prescribed for county
 committees in matters pertaining to any city or township election, except that it is not
 necessary for a county committee of a political party or organization to furnish a heading for
 the ballots other than to designate the name of the party or political organization that they
 represent. In cities and townships, the names of candidates for city or township offices must be
 given by the county committees of the various political organizations to the board of election
 commissioners of the city or township not less than 18 days before each election, but it is not
 necessary for any county party committee to give to the board of election commissioners the
 name of any candidate nominated at an official primary election. The proof of the ballot must
 be open to public inspection at the office of the township or city clerk not less than 15 days
 before the election.
