Bill summary
Senate committee substitute makes the following changes to the 1st edition.
Amends Section 2-2(g) of the Carrboro Town Charter (SL 1987-476, as amended by SL 2007-270) to provide that if the board of aldermen adopts a resolution calling for a special election to fill one or more vacant seats and if that resolution sets the date of the special election to coincide with another election, other than the municipal general election, then the resolution must state the filing period and the filing fee.
If the resolution sets the date of the special election on a day other than another election, then the resolution must state the filing period, filing fee, and absentee voting period, including an alternative location for one-stop absentee voting within the corporate limits of the municipality, rather than the office of the board of elections, if no other elections are conducted within the county on the same date.
Makes a technical change.
