An Act regulating elections in the town of Conway

HD 5091 eliminates party caucuses for nominating town officers in Conway, requiring candidates to file nomination papers instead. It also removes all political party designations from ballots and candidate names in Conway's town elections. The bill applies specifically to Conway's local elections for town offices and takes effect immediately upon passage. This changes how candidates are nominated and how ballots are printed, focusing on nonpartisan local elections.
