Statute 25-306e: Multiple nominations; acceptance of only
one nomination.
If any person receives two or more nominations for the same
office, such person shall file within seven days, including Saturday, Sunday
and holidays, after the last nomination is received, a written statement,
signed and sworn to by such person, designating which nomination such person
desires to accept. Such statement shall be filed in the office where
nomination papers are required to be filed. Upon filing such statement, such
person shall be deemed to have declined any other nomination. If such person
refuses or neglects to file such statement, the officer with whom the
nomination papers are filed, immediately upon the expiration of the seven-day
period, shall make and file in such officer's office an election of one
nomination for such candidate. The county election officer shall print such
candidate's name upon the official ballot under the designation so selected,
and under no other designation.
