AI Summary
This bill amends sections 370 and 719 of the Michigan Election Law to modify references to city or township party committees in the law to instead refer to county party committees. Specifically, the bill changes the process for filling vacancies in elective township offices, requiring county party committees rather than city or township party committees to submit nominees to fill such vacancies. The bill also removes the requirement for county party committees to provide headings for ballots in city and township elections, and specifies that the names of candidates for city or township offices must be provided by the county committees rather than city or township committees.
