Write-in votes; duties of the electoral boards. Provides that when no person is elected to an office by write-in votes and the total number of write-in votes for that office is less than 95 percent of the total number of votes cast for the candidate receiving the most votes in the election district, the electoral board is not required to ascertain the total number of write-in votes cast for each person receiving write-in votes, but is required to ascertain the total number of write-in votes cast for that office in the locality. If an office in which the total number of write-in votes cast in the election district exceeds (i) the highest number of votes cast for any candidate whose name appears on the ballot or (ii) 95 percent of the total number of votes cast for the candidate receiving the highest number of votes for that office, each electoral board in that election district is required to ascertain the total votes for each write-in candidate for the office within one week following the election.
