§ § 16.1-15-42Certificate of result of general or special election by state canvassing

board - Secretary of state to receive.
The statements provided for in section 16.1-15-41 must be certified by the members of the
state canvassing board who shall subscribe their names to the statements. The board then shall
determine what individuals have been duly elected to the offices, shall prepare and subscribe on
each statement a certificate of that determination, and shall deliver the statement to the
secretary of state. The candidate to be elected for each office receiving the highest number of
votes must be duly elected to the office. An individual who was entitled to have the individual's
name appear on the primary election ballot, but whose name was not placed on the primary
election ballot, may not be elected to a no-party office as a write-in candidate unless the
individual receives a number of votes equal to or more than the number of signatures that would
have been required to have the individual's name placed on the primary election ballot.
