In the event that the election board is to have three members, each such county chairman shall recommend one person for each board. Such recommendations shall be made in writing and shall be delivered to the county election officer, if practicable, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the day of any primary or general election to which they apply and not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the day of any special election.

In such cases the county election officer of the county in which the smaller portion of any such city is located shall designate those persons to be so appointed from the portion of the city in his county. Such designation shall be transmitted to the county election officer conducting elections and shall be appointed by him. In the event of any dispute arising under this subsection, the same may be submitted by either county election officer to the secretary of state for determination, and such determination shall be final.
