Elections: candidates; replacement of candidate for county commissioner after death; provide for and clarify. Amends secs. 194, 195 & 198 of 1954 PA 116 (MCL 168.194 et seq.).

This bill updates Michigan election laws to clarify the rules for withdrawing as a candidate and selecting replacements when a candidate for county office dies. It requires candidates to submit a written withdrawal notice by a specific deadline after filing their nomination. Additionally, it establishes that if a nominated candidate for certain county positions dies, the political party's executive committee must select a replacement who meets specific residency requirements. The bill also tightens restrictions on withdrawal by adding conditions such as moving out of the county or becoming physically unfit, ensuring that vacancies are filled only through the defined replacement process.
