* Exempts presidential nominations and elections of party central committees.
* Only the two primary-election candidates receiving most votes for an office, whether they are candidates with "no party" or members of same or different party, would be listed on general election ballot.
* In special primary election, candidate receiving majority vote is elected.
* Requires political party's consent for identification of candidates' party registration on ballot and in other official election publications.
