§ 11533 Election Procedures Conformity Rule

This law says that elections must be run and the results announced as closely as possible to the state's regular election rules, unless this specific part says something different.

Key Takeaways

•Elections have to be held and run.
•The way they are run should match the state's normal election rules as much as possible.
•They can only be different if this specific division says they can be.

Example

A town is voting for a new mayor and follows the state's voting rules for things like voting booths and counting ballots.

Because the law says elections should match the state's general election rules, the town must set up voting places, let people vote, count the votes, and announce who won just like the state does, unless this part of the law gives a special exception.

Except as otherwise provided in this division elections shall be held and conducted and the result ascertained, determined, and declared in all respects as nearly as practicable in conformity with the general election laws of the State. (Enacted by Stats. 1951, Ch. 764.)
