If the only matter before the voters is the election of persons to office and if, at the close of business on the nineteenth day before the election, there are not more candidates than offices to be filled at such election, including candidates filing affidavits of intent, the Town Clerk, if instructed by resolution of the Board of Trustees of the town either before or after such date, shall cancel the election and by resolution declare the candidates elected. Upon such declaration, the candidates shall be deemed elected. Notice of such cancellation shall be published, if possible, in order to inform the electors of the town, and notice of such cancellation shall be posted at each polling place and in not less than one other public place.
