Description

Elections; filling vacancies in certain local offices; special elections. Provides that vacancies in a governing body or elected school board shall be filled by special election. If the vacant position is not that of a constitutional officer, the position may be filled temporarily by an interim appointment. The requirement for a special election would override charter provisions that allow a governing body or school board to appoint a person to serve the entire remaining portion of a term. The exemption for towns with a population of 3,500 or less is removed. View Full Text »
