be repealed, amended, or enacted to read as follows:

Article 33 — Election Code

9-5.

In the case of any nominee dying within so short a time
before the day of election that the certificate of
nomination of the new nominee shall not have been filed with
or certified to the board within the time period prescribed
by this article, thus being too late for the name of the new
nominee to be printed on the ballots in any county or the
City of Baltimore, as hereinafter provided, the board shall
at once cause to be printed a sufficient number of stickers
bearing the name of the substitute nominee, and shall
deliver the same in due time to the judges for all those
precincts therein the nominee may be voted for, and these
judges shall affix the stickers in the proper place on each
ballot or ballot label. If punchcard voting has been
authorized in Montgomery County pursuant to the provisions
of § 16A-1 of this article, the board at once shall cause
[to be made rubber stamps bearing the name of the substitute
nominee, and shall cause such stamp to be stamped in the
proper place on each ballot] THE BALLOTS TO BE REPRINTED
WITH THE CORRECT NAMES. IF THE DEATH IS KNOWN TO THE BOARD
OF ELECTIONS LESS THAN 72 HOURS 7 10 DAYS BEFORE THE DAY OF
THE ELECTION AND THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE
TO REPRINT THE BALLOT, THE BOARD OF ELECTIONS, AFTER
CONSULTATION WITH THE STATE ADMINISTRATOR, SHALL TAKE ALL
APPROPRIATE MEASURES OF NOTIFY THE VOTERS OF THE DEATH, THE
PROCEDURE TO BE USED BY THE VOTER TO RECORD HIS VOTE, AND
THE PROCEDURE TO BE USEE BY THE BOARD FOR THE CONDUCT OF THE
