HB 622 City and town elections.

Introduced by: Anne G. (Panny) Rhodes | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

City and town elections. Allows cities and towns by ordinance to provide for the election of the governing body at the November general election rather than the May general election. Alternatively, voters may petition the circuit court asking that a referendum be held on the question of whether the city or town shall elect the mayor and council at the November general election. Several other sections are amended to eliminate the assumption that all elections for city and town governing bodies or school boards are held in May.
