HB 1221 North Carolina House · 2025-2026 Session

4-Year Terms/Town of Everetts.

This bill changes how elections are held in the Town of Everetts by requiring them to occur every four years instead of the previous schedule. It directly affects the town's residents and its elected officials, specifically the mayor and the three members of the board of commissioners. Under the new rules, these officials will serve four-year terms starting with elections in 2027, and the voting process will remain nonpartisan. The law applies to any election held on or after the date it becomes effective, ensuring a consistent four-year cycle for future races.
