Modifies provisions governing candidate filing location for nonpartisan elections

Summary

The bill lets cities, towns, or villages with 2,000 or fewer residents forgo an election if the exact number of candidates files for each office and no ballot measures are present; the candidates would automatically assume office after a newspaper notice. It also requires election officials to set a filing line, use a random draw to determine ballot order for early filers, and clarifies which authority runs the election. Small municipalities could adopt these rules by voter referendum for up to six years.
