All nominations made by political parties shall be known and designated
as "party nominations," and the certificates by which such nominations

only by a delegate or mass convention or caucus of qualified electors
belonging to a political party having a national or state organization.
Party nominations for governor and lieutenant governor can be made only
by a delegate or mass convention of qualified electors belonging to a
political party having a national or state organization and any such
political party must be one that is not permitted to nominate its
candidates by primary election, and such nominations shall be made with
the candidates being selected so that each convention vote shall be made
for a candidate for governor and a candidate for lieutenant governor
running together. Party nominations so made shall, subject to the
provisions of this act, be placed upon the official general ballot.
