Even-Year Elections/4-Year Mayor Term/Belville.

This bill modifies the town charter of Belville, North Carolina, to shift municipal elections from odd-numbered to even-numbered years and extend the mayor's term from two to four years. Under these changes, the mayor and all board of commissioners members will serve four-year terms on a staggered schedule, beginning with elections in 2028. To ensure a smooth transition, the bill extends the current terms of officials whose positions would otherwise expire in 2027 and 2029 by one year. These adjustments align the town's election cycle with the state's standard for even-year voting while reducing the frequency of mayoral elections.
