HB 1014 Elections; filling vacancies in certain local offices, requirements for special elections.

Introduced by: Clifford L. Athey, Jr. | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Elections; filling vacancies in certain local offices; special elections.  Provides that vacancies in a governing body or elected school board shall be filled by special election. If the vacant position is not that of a constitutional officer, the position may be filled temporarily by an interim appointment. The requirement for a special election overrides charter provisions that allow a governing body or school board to appoint a person to serve the entire remaining portion of a term. An exemption from the requirement to hold a special election for towns with a population of 3,500 or less is removed.
