§ 22-5-220 — Withdrawal of nomination application restricted

A candidate may withdraw a nomination application prior to the
primary election only by filing a written withdrawal in the
filing office in which he filed his application for nomination.
If a candidate withdraws after the party ballots are finalized
and approved for printing by a county clerk in any county where
the candidate’s name will appear on the party ballot, the county
clerk shall not be required to remove the candidate’s name from
the party ballot, but shall post a notice at each polling place
announcing that the named candidate has withdrawn from
nomination for the office designated.
