Whenever one-fifth or more of the accredited delegates to, and present and voting at, any such state convention called for the purpose of choosing candidates for nomination for any elective office, upon motion, vote that a roll call vote, under section 9-385, upon any matter or motion pending before such convention, or on a party endorsement as between two or more candidates for nomination to any state office at any such convention, be taken by town delegation, the individual delegates shall be polled by the chairman of each town delegation whose designation is recorded as provided herein and their votes cast by totals by such chairman on the roll call.

The provisions of this law shall not apply to district delegates, if any, and district delegates shall continue to vote individually on any roll call.
