1. If, in any contest, the court finds
from the evidence that a person other than the defendant received the greatest
number of legal votes, the court, as a part of the judgment, shall declare that
person elected or nominated.
2. The person declared nominated or
elected by the court is entitled to a certificate of nomination or election. If
a certificate has not been issued to that person, the county clerk, city clerk
or Secretary of State shall execute and deliver to the person a certificate of
election or a certificate of nomination.
3. If a certificate of election or
nomination to the same office has been issued to any person other than the one
declared elected by the court, that certificate must be annulled by the
judgment of the court.
4. Whenever an election is annulled or set
aside by the court, and the court does not declare some candidate elected, the
certificate of election or the commission, if any has been issued, is void and
the office is vacant.
