§ 105201 Election Notice Publication Requirements

This law says that to tell people about an election, the city only has to publish the election notice in at least one local newspaper, and then run the election just like any other district election.

Key Takeaways

  • •Notice of an election must be published in at least one newspaper in the district.
  • •No other forms of notice (flyers, signs, mailings) are required.
  • •The election is run like any other district election unless the ordinance says otherwise.

Example

A town wants to hold a special election for a new park. The town council publishes the election notice in the town's only newspaper and does not send any flyers or post signs.

Because the law only requires the notice to appear in one newspaper, the town has met the rule. The election then proceeds using the same procedures as regular town elections, unless the council's ordinance says something different.
