§ 5865 Election Resolution Publication

This law says that when a resolution is passed to set up an election, publishing that resolution is enough to let everyone know about the election; no extra notice is needed.

Key Takeaways

•Publishing the election‑calling resolution is the official notice.
•No other forms of notice (mail, flyers, etc.) are required.
•The rule follows the publishing requirements in Section 6061 of the Government Code.

Example

A small town council decides to hold a special election for a new mayor. They pass a resolution and print it in the town newspaper.

Because the resolution was published, that newspaper notice is the official word that an election is happening, and the town does not have to mail letters or put up extra flyers.

The resolution calling the election shall be published pursuant to Section 6061 of the Government Code. The passage of the resolution and its publication constitute the notice of election and no other notice need be given. (Amended by Stats. 2002, Ch. 221, Sec. 51. Effective January 1, 2003.)
