§ 14106 Canceled Election Voter Notices

• •The elections official must inform voters with signs when an election is cancelled because the incumbent died.
• •The notice must also say a special election will be held to fill the vacancy.
• •The signs can be provided directly or the official can give materials so others can make the signs.

The town’s mayor passes away a week before the scheduled mayoral election. The election is cancelled, and the town clerk puts up signs at polling places saying the election is cancelled and a special election will be held later.

The signs let voters know why the regular election isn’t happening and that they’ll get another chance to vote in a special election.
