§ 10305 City Officer Election Orders

• •Commissioners can start an election by putting an order in their meeting minutes.
• •The order must list the exact offices that will be voted on and the election date.
• •If the election is only for a certain part of the city (a ward or subdivision), the order has to say that too.
• •Only people who live in the city can vote in these elections.

The city needs a new fire chief. The commissioners write an order saying, “We’ll hold an election for fire chief on June 15,” and put it in the meeting minutes.

Because the commissioners made the order, all city voters can vote for the fire chief on the date the order says.
