Sec. 7-58. Each county clerk or board of election
commissioners shall, upon completion of the
canvassing of the returns, make and transmit to the State Board of
Elections and to each election authority whose duty it is to print the
official ballot for the election for which the nomination is made a
proclamation of the results of the primary. The proclamation shall state
the name of each candidate of each political party so
nominated or elected, as shown by the returns, together with the name of
the office for which he or she was nominated or elected, including precinct,
township and ward committeepersons, and including in the case of the State
Board of Elections, candidates for State central committeepersons, and

business day after receiving a certified copy of the court's judgment or
order, amend its proclamation accordingly and proceed to file an amended
proclamation with the appropriate election authorities and with the State
Board of Elections.
The State Board of Elections shall issue a certificate of
election to each of the persons shown by the returns and the
proclamation thereof to be elected State central committeepersons, and
delegates and alternate delegates to National nominating conventions;
and the county clerk shall issue a certificate of election to each
person shown by the returns to be elected precinct, township or ward committeeperson. The certificate issued to such precinct committeeperson shall
state the number of ballots voted in his or her precinct by the primary
electors of his or her party at the primary at which he or she was elected. The
certificate issued to such township committeeperson shall state the number
of ballots voted in his or her township or part of a township, as the case may
be, by the primary electors of his or her party at the primary at which he or she was
elected. The certificate issued to such ward committeeperson shall state
the number of ballots voted in his or her ward by the primary electors of his or her
party at the primary at which he or she was elected.
