Any person who has been nominated for a public office at a primary or by nomination papers may withdraw his name from nomination by request in writing, signed by him and acknowledged before an officer qualified to take acknowledgments of deeds, and filed in the office of the Supervisor of Elections or of his deputy in the election district in which such person resides. Such a written withdrawal, to be effective, shall be received in the office of the Supervisor of Elections or his designee within 5 days after the final date for filing nomination papers and nomination petitions as provided pursuant to section 410 of this chapter, and not later than 5 p.m. on the last day for filing the withdrawal. No name so withdrawn shall be printed upon the ballot. No candidate may withdraw any withdrawal notice already received and filed, and thereby reinstate his nomination.
