Removes outdated language from the Charter’s provisions pertaining to regular municipal elections. Requires the elections to be held at the time of the general election. Clarifies that the elections should be conducted under the municipal election laws set forth in GS Chapter 163 (currently, just a reference in the Charter to the general State laws related to municipal elections). Declares that the election results will be determined by a nonpartisan plurality method under GS 163-292 (currently, elections determined by simple plurality). Clarifies that the act’s extension of the terms of the Mayor and the three members of the Village Council by one year are for those members whose terms expire in 2025. Makes technical, organizational and conforming changes.
