A certified copy of the judgment rendered in an action objecting to the calling of a special election, objecting to candidacy, contesting the certification of a recall petition, or contesting an election shall be transmitted by the clerk of court to the secretary of state. Upon receipt of a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction disqualifying a candidate, the secretary of state shall remove the candidate's name from the ballot if the ballot has not been printed. If the ballot has been printed with the disqualified candidate's name, any votes received by the disqualified candidate shall be void and shall not be counted for any purpose whatsoever.
