When only one person is to be elected to any office, then the two candidates receiving the highest number of votes for that office shall be the only candidates whose names shall be placed on the ballots for that office at the general election.
When two or more persons are to be elected to any office, then the names of the persons receiving at the primary election the highest number of votes for the office up to a number equal to twice the number of persons to be elected to the office at the general election, shall be placed upon the ballot for that office.
In case of a tie vote, or if a recount of the votes cast at a primary election is desired, the same proceedings shall apply as provided in this chapter relative to vote recounts and tie votes.
