§ 12101 Municipal Election Notice Requirements
This law tells the city to put out a public notice about a municipal election at least 127 days but no more than 113 days before the vote, saying when the election is and what jobs are being voted on, and to add special rules if only one person runs for a spot.
The city of Riverdale plans a mayoral election for June 10. On May 1 (about 120 days before), the city prints a notice in the local paper that says the election is on June 10 and lists the mayor and council seats up for election.
The notice follows the law because it was posted within the 127‑113 day window and tells people the date and which offices are being filled. If only one person files to run for a council seat, the notice also says the city could appoint that person instead of holding a vote, as the statute requires.
