Bill > S1270

This bill amends existing law to revise provisions regarding uncontested city elections. Specifically, it states that if only one candidate has been deemed qualified or has filed a write-in declaration, the city clerk shall declare that candidate elected and issue a certificate of election without holding an election. The bill also specifies that there shall be no more than two city elections per calendar year, except for emergency elections called by the city council. Additionally, the bill clarifies that city elections are to be conducted by the county clerk and that the secretary of state can provide assistance and prescribe rules for the conduct of these elections.
