Bill > H136

This bill modifies the election process for the Town of Faith by changing two key aspects of municipal governance: election timing and term length. Specifically, the bill shifts municipal elections from odd-numbered years to even-numbered years, aligning them with the general election cycle, and extends the terms of aldermen from two years to four years. The bill also includes a transitional provision that cancels the 2025 municipal election and extends the current aldermen's terms by one year, with the first four-year election cycle beginning in 2026. The elections will continue to be conducted in accordance with North Carolina's uniform municipal election laws, and the bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law. These changes are intended to streamline the town's electoral process and provide more stability for elected officials by reducing the frequency of elections and allowing aldermen a longer period to implement their policy goals.
