Any candidate who shall receive at the primary election a majority of all the votes cast at that election for the office shall be declared to be elected to the office for which the person is a candidate, effective as the date of the general election, and no further election shall be held as to such candidate. If more candidates receive a majority of votes cast than there are seats to be filled for the office, from among those candidates who receive a majority of votes cast, the candidates who receive the highest number of votes equal to the number of seats to be filled for the office shall be declared elected to that office. The majority of votes cast is determined by:

A. Calculating the total number of actual votes cast for all candidates for an office whose names were lawfully on the ballot for that office.

B. Dividing the sum reached pursuant to paragraph A of this section by the number of seats to be filled for the office.

C. Dividing the number reached pursuant to paragraph B of this section by two and rounding that number to the highest whole number. (15-09, Amended, 11/05/2015, Deleted and replaced; 12-08, Amended, 12/20/2012, and Renumbered)
