1. Objections filed with the city clerk pursuant to section 362.4 or with the commissioner for an elective city office shall be considered by the mayor and clerk and one member of the council chosen by the council by ballot, and a majority decision shall be final. However, if the objection is to the certificate of nomination of either of those city officials, that official shall not pass upon the objection, but the official’s place shall be filled by a member of the council against whom no such objection exists, chosen as above provided.
2. The hearing shall be held within twenty-four hours of the receipt of the objection if a primary election must be held for the office sought by the candidate against whom the objection has been filed.
3. Objections relating to incorrect or incomplete information for information that is required under section 44.3 shall be sustained.
