If at any election held as provided in this chapter there is any office for which no candidate is elected, then as to such office the primary election shall be considered to be a primary election for nomination of candidates for such office, and a second or general election shall be held to vote for candidates to fill the office. Candidates to be placed on the ballot at the general election shall be those not elected at the primary election, and shall be equal in number to twice the number to be elected to any given office or less than that number if there are less than that number named on the primary election ballot. Persons who receive the highest number of votes for the respective offices at the first election shall be the only candidates for the second election, provided that if there is any person who, under the provisions of this chapter, would have been entitled to become a candidate for any office except for the fact that some other candidate received an equal number of votes therefor, then all such persons receiving said equal number of votes shall likewise become candidates for the office.
