(b)    No person shall act as treasurer, subtreasurer, or political
agent unless, after his appointment and before the primary or elec-
tion for which he is appointed, a writing signed by the political
committee or candidate appointing him and designating him as such
treasurer, subtreasurer or political agent, shall be filed with the
Secretary of State except that in case the primary or election for
which the appointment is made shall be limited to any county, city,
ward or legislative district exclusively, such writing shall be filed
with the clerk of the circuit court of the county or Baltimore City
to which the election is limited, instead of with the Secretary of State.
Every such writing shall designate the particular period, election or
primary election within which such treasurership, subtreasurership,
or political agency shall continue. Nothing in this subtitle shall pre-
vent the treasurer, subtreasurer or political agent of a political com-
mittee or any candidate from being the treasurer, subtreasurer or
political agent of another political committee or candidate, but no
candidate for public office or nomination therefor may designate him-
self as his own political agent, treasurer, or subtreasurer or act as
the political agent or treasurer or subtreasurer of a political com-
mittee or any other candidate. No person shall be appointed or act
as treasurer or subtreasurer or political agent in any election or
primary election who is not a citizen, resident and registered voter
of the State of Maryland.

(c)    The treasurer of a political committee or for a candidate may
appoint a separate subtreasurer for any county or political subdivi-
sion, which subtreasurer shall deposit funds, disburse and account
for the same in the same manner as herein provided with respect to
a treasurer. It shall be the duty of every such subtreasurer to make a
report on the form prescribed in Sec. 26-15 of this Article to the
treasurer appointing him. The subtreasurer's report shall be at-
tached to and the total amounts of contributions and expenditures
contained therein incorporated into the treasurer's report prescribed
in said Sec. 26-15 of this Article and filed as required by Sec. 26-14
of this Article.

(d)    Any candidate, after filing the name of a treasurer as pre-
scribed in subsection (a) of this section, may choose, at any time
after such filing and the first filing as required in Sec. 26-14 (a) (1),
to join a group, combination or organization of candidates, commonly
known as a "ticket" or "slate," at which time the candidate must
notify the clerk of the court of the county or Baltimore City, or the
Secretary of State, as the case may be. of the fact that he has joined
said ticket or slate. The treasurer of said ticket or slate shall report
just as the treasurer of any political committee as prescribed in Sec.
26-4(a).

26-3. Summary of election laws; forms.

The Secretary of State shall summarize provisions of the election
laws relating to campaign contributions and expenditures and pro-
vide for the distribution of this summary to all candidates for nomi-
nation for or election to public office at the time such candidates file
for nomination or election and shall prepare and include in such
distribution to each candidate all forms provided for in this subtitle
and shall provide such forms as shall be requested by the boards in
any political subdivision.
