1352 ARTICLE 33.

(d) Should any person nominated to fill a public office die before elec-
tion day or decline the nomination, as herein provided, or should any
certificate of nomination be or become insufficient or inoperative, the va-
cancy or vacancies thus occasioned may be filled in the manner provided for
original nominations. The certificate of the substittited candidate shall,
except in case of a nominee dying, be filed at least 30 days before the day
of election, and in cases of either resignation or death shall be filed within
six days after the vacancy shall have occurred. It shall be the duty of the
Secretary of State to certify all such substitute nominations to the Super-
visors of Elections immediately after they are filed with him. In case of a
vacancy occurring within so short a time before the day of election that
the certificate of nomination of the new nominee shall be too late for the
name of the new nominee to be printed in the ballots in any county or in
the City of Baltimore, the Board of Election Supervisors of such county
or city shall at once cause to be printed a sufficient number of stickers
bearing the name of such substitute nominee and shall affix such stickers in
their proper places on the ballots to be sent by mail to absent voters, as here-
inafter provided for. All ballots sent before the stickers are affixed are to be
void only as to the mark opposite the name of the candidate whose name
has been withdrawn. The other marks, if made according to law, shall be
counted at the time and in the manner hereinafter provided for. In all
other respects Section 59 of Article 33 of the Annotated Code, Chapter 715,
Acts of 1914, shall remain in full force and operation.

(e) Whenever a proposed Constitution or Constitutional Amendment,
or other question, is submitted as provided for in Section 60, Article 33 of
the Annotated Code, Chapter 202, Acts of 1896, the Secretary of State
shall certify the same not less than 45 days before the election, and the
County Commissioners, or Register of the City of Baltimore, shall do the
same with questions of local concern. In all other respects the said Section
60 is to remain in full force and operation.

(f) Except as provided in sub-division (d) above and in Section 59 of
Article 33 of the Annotated Code, Chapter 715, Acts of 1914, the Super-
visors of Elections shall not be required to print any name upon a ballot
if such name shall not have been certified to them at least 36 days before
election day. Ballots shall be printed and in the hands of the Supervisors
of Elections at least 25 days before election day. In all other respects
Section 62 of Article 33, Chapter 2, Acts of 1901, shall remain in full
force and operation.

(g) At least 45 days before every State election, the Attorney General
shall prepare full instructions for the guidance of voters as provided for in
Sections 132 and 133 of Article 33 of the Annotated Code, Chapter 2, Acts
of 1901, and Chapter 614, Acts of 1908, respectively. In all other respects
said Sections 132 and 133 are to remain in full force and operation.

(h) Certificates required of candidates for party nominations for the
office of President of the United States shall be filed within 40 days before
the date of the primary election for delegates to the State Convention pro-
vided for by Section 190 of the Annotated Code, Chapters 163 and 475,
