relative to special elections.

Summary

The bill would obligate the governor to schedule a special election within 24 hours of a city’s request if a state representative seat in a city ward becomes vacant 56 to 77 days before the municipal primary. It also adds a general rule that the governor must declare any special election within 21 days after a vacancy is proven. The goal is to ensure that voters in affected districts have representation without undue delay.
