primary, shall, except as provided under section 1405, be the
duly elected members of the State or National committee, as the
case may be, of their respective parties. Candidates for other

Section 2. Section 1405 of the act, amended October 31, 2019
(P.L.552, No.77), is amended to read:
Section 1405. Manner of Computing Irregular Ballots.--The
county board, in computing the votes cast at any primary or
election, shall compute and certify votes cast on irregular
ballots exactly as such names were written, stamped or deposited
in or on receptacles for that purpose, and as they have been so
returned by the election officers. In districts in which paper
ballots or ballot cards are electronically tabulated, stickers
or labels may not be used to mark ballots. A vote cast by means
of a sticker or label affixed to a ballot or ballot card shall
be void and may not be counted. In the primary or election the
Secretary of the Commonwealth shall not certify the votes cast
on irregular ballots for any person for a National office
including that of the President of the United States, United
States Senator and Representative in Congress; or for any State
office including that of Governor and Lieutenant Governor,
Auditor General, State Treasurer, Senator and Representative in
the General Assembly, justices and judges of courts of record or
for any party office including that of delegate or alternate
delegate to National conventions and member of State committee
