HB256 Alabama 2012 Session
Bill Summary
Under existing law, in Class municipalities, a vacancy on the city council is filled by a special election if the vacancy occurs less than one year before the end of a term. The special election is set by the council at least 60 days and not more than 120 days after the occurrence of the vacancy unless during that time period certain elections are being held, in which case the election is held on that date
This bill would delete the provision for the special election to be held on the date of an election and would allow the council to set the date
Relating to Class 2 municipalities; to amend Section 11-44C-22, Code of Alabama 1975, to provide further for the setting of the date for special elections to fill certain vacancies on the council.
