§ 10503 Election Law Default Rules

• •The main election law controls if it has rules for the issue.
• •If the main law has no rule, the state's general election laws fill the gap.
• •Even when neither this part nor the main law applies, the state's general election laws still apply.

A small town wants to change how it runs its local voting, but the big state election law doesn't mention that specific change.

Because the main law is silent, the state's general election laws will decide how the town must handle the voting change.
