Whenever any political party holds a primary election for the nomination of candidates in counties where county superintendents are elected by a direct vote of the qualified electors and one or more persons qualify as candidates for nomination by such political party as candidate for county superintendent of education, there shall be entered on the ballot of such primary election with the names of such candidates for county superintendent of education the proposition: "For selection by the county board of education." Such proposition shall appear on the ballot before the names of the candidates and be arranged so that the elector may express his choice for such proposition in the same manner as he expresses his choice for a candidate. If more votes are cast for selection by the county board of education than for any candidate, then the duly constituted authority of such political party holding such primary election shall certify to the probate judge that said political party favors the selection of said county superintendent of education by the county board of education.
