Relativerelative to the reimbursement of local costs of special elections. Election Laws.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend existing election laws by adding a provision that ensures cities and towns will be reimbursed for the expenses they incur when holding special elections to fill vacancies in public offices. This reimbursement will occur after the state auditor verifies the costs associated with these elections, meaning that local governments will not have to bear the full financial burden of these unscheduled electoral events.
