HB 2090: Short term elective offices

Defining the "short term" for elective offices.

Summary

  • A "short term" is defined for a partisan office as the brief period starting upon the completion of the certification of the returns of an election to fill a full term for the office and ending with the start of the full term. It exists if a vacancy exists in the office on the date of the election or if the office is, on that date, held by a person appointed to fill a vacancy in the office.
