Even-Year Municipal Elections/Catawba Co.

This bill requires that regular municipal elections for the towns of Brookford, Catawba, and Claremont, as well as the city of Conover in Catawba County, be held in even-numbered years instead of their current odd-numbered schedules. To implement this change, the legislation extends the current terms of local officials whose offices would otherwise expire in 2027 by one year, while also extending the terms of those expiring in 2029. The bill ensures that elections in these municipalities will resume in even-numbered years starting in 2028, maintaining the existing staggered term structure for local offices.
