Qué contiene
Resumen con IA If a local office becomes empty, voters can request a special election to fill it only if there are at least six months left in the term. The law also lets officials declare an office vacant early if an elected person submits a written notice that they plan to resign. This allows the position to appear on the next general election ballot so a new person can be chosen to finish the term. (Todavía no está traducido al español.)1
