Bill Summary

Municipal & general election at same time

AI Summary

This bill mandates that regular municipal elections must be held concurrently with the general election, which is the nationwide election for federal and state offices, and prohibits other municipal elections from occurring within forty-two days before or thirty days after any statewide special, general, or primary election, or any regular school district election, to avoid conflicts and streamline the voting process. It also changes the date for regular municipal elections from the first Tuesday in March to the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November of each even-numbered year, aligning them with the general election cycle, and includes a temporary provision to extend the terms of current municipal officers until their successors are elected and qualified following the new election schedule.
