This bill changes when municipalities must hold their annual elections by replacing the fixed date of the second Tuesday in April with two new options: the first Tuesday after the first Monday in June or the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. The bill also allows municipalities to hold combined elections with school districts on either of these new dates, provided both governing bodies agree. Municipal governments must announce which date they're using by January 14th of the election year.
