Modifies provisions governing candidate filing location for nonpartisan elections

Summary

The measure permits a city, town, village, special district, or other political subdivision to forgo a nonpartisan election if exactly one candidate files for each vacant position and no ballot measures appear. In that case the candidates automatically assume office after a newspaper notice is published. It also sets filing‑line rules, random ballot‑order draws for early filers, and allows very small municipalities to adopt these procedures by voter referendum for six years.
