The question of recalling any number of elective officers may be submitted at the same election, but as to each officer whose removal is sought a separate petition shall be filed and provision shall be made for an entirely separate ballot.
If, however, an election is held for the recall for more than two members of Council, candidates to succeed them for their unexpired terms shall be voted upon at the same election, and shall be nominated without primary election, by petitions signed, dated, and verified in the manner required for petitions presenting names of candidates for nomination at a primary election, and similar in form to such petitions, but signed by qualified electors equal in number to that provided for an original primary nomination for such office, and filed with the Board of Elections of the County at least sixty (60) days prior to such recall election. But no such nominating petition shall be signed or circulated until after the time has expired for signing the petition for the recall, and any signatures thereon antedating such time shall not be counted.
