Summary

The bill lets each town decide whether to hold its municipal election in odd‑year November, in May of odd years (with a three‑fourths legislative vote), or to combine it with the statewide November election in even years. It also provides rules for adjusting the terms of current officials when dates change. The change aims to give towns flexibility and could affect voter turnout and municipal administration.
