Bill > S130

This bill modifies the election filing period for municipal elections in the City of Hendersonville, North Carolina. Specifically, the bill removes the existing provision that the filing period for municipal elections would be the same as for county officers elected on a partisan basis. By deleting this language, the bill appears to create flexibility for Hendersonville to establish its own unique filing period for municipal elections. The bill maintains other existing election rules, such as the nonpartisan nature of elections and the use of the plurality method for determining election results. The changes will take effect immediately upon becoming law and will apply to all elections held on or after that date. This modification seems intended to give the City of Hendersonville more local control over its municipal election process, particularly regarding the timing and duration of candidate filing periods.
