Elections; filling vacancies in county and city governing bodies.

Summary

The bill eliminates the practice of appointing temporary officials to vacant seats on county or city governing bodies. Instead, the local board must ask a court for a special‑election writ within one day, and the court must set an election no later than 45 days after the writ, with extensions if the date would clash with primary or general elections. This change ensures that voters, rather than appointed officials, choose replacements.
