HD 5745 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act further regulating the filling of vacancies on the city council relative to the office of ward councilor in the City of Marlborough

This bill establishes a new process for filling vacancies on the Marlborough city council for ward councilors. If a vacancy happens in the first 12 months of a term, the council must immediately order an election to fill the remaining time. If a vacancy occurs in the last 12 months of a term, the remaining council members will vote to fill the position directly without an election. The changes apply specifically to the City of Marlborough and take effect immediately upon passage.
