§ 1181 Memorial District Election Rules

• •The board of supervisors and county elections official have the same powers as city trustees and city clerks for this chapter.
• •Words like “city” and “municipal election” are re‑defined to mean “proposed memorial district” and its election.
• •The rule only applies to matters covered in this chapter, such as elections for proposed memorial districts.

A county wants to hold a vote on creating a new memorial district. The board of supervisors runs the election just like a city clerk would run a city election.

Because of this law, the board of supervisors can do everything a city clerk normally does for an election, and the words “city” and “municipal election” now actually mean the proposed memorial district and its election.
