Where more than one political party has entered such primary, it shall be the duty of the county governing body to furnish to the election officers of each voting place separate ballot boxes or, where voting machines are used, separate rows or columns on such machines for each party participating in such primary. Ballot boxes shall be distinctly marked, and the ballots of electors of each party shall be deposited in the box assigned to and designated for that party. The returns, certificates and official list of voters, after the canvass of the votes, shall be deposited in the ballot box of the party to which they relate.
