Relative to the nomination of candidates for town meeting in the town of Milford. Election Laws. [Local Approval Received.]

AI Summary

This bill amends the existing law to change the nomination process for town meeting members in the town of Milford. It allows incumbent town meeting members to be automatically re-nominated without the need to file nomination papers, as long as they provide written notice to the town clerk at least 30 days before the election. This is an exception to the general requirement that all candidates must file nomination papers signed by at least 30 voters from the same precinct. The bill also specifies that the nomination papers must not contain any political designation.
