79.035. 1. In all cities of the fourth class, except those in a county of the first class with a charter form of government and which adjoins a city not within a county, the governing body may provide for a primary election, to be held on one of the days specified in section 115.123, only by ordinance. Any city adopting such an ordinance shall file a certified copy thereof with the secretary of state within thirty days of its adoption, and shall not hold a primary election sooner than sixty days after its adoption.
