Municipal elections; runoff elections, procedures revised

Summary

The law changes municipal election rules so that if no candidate receives more than half of all votes cast, the city or town council must hold a runoff between the top two vote‑getters. It applies to every municipal office and sets out how votes are counted, when the runoff is held, and how ties or candidate withdrawals are handled. The goal is to ensure elected officials have clear majority support.
