26. Section 13. When only one person is to be elected to any office then the two (2) candidates receiving the highest number of votes for that office shall be the candidates and the only candidates whose names shall be placed on the ballots for that office at the next succeeding election. When two (2) 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 said office up to a number equal to twice the number of such persons to be elected to said office at said election, shall be placed upon the ballot as candidates and the only candidates 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 be had as provided for such case in this chapter relative to elections.
