This bill mandates that counties with a population of 125,000 or more must use plan ‘three’ for supervisor elections and changes the process for filling county supervisor vacancies by requiring special elections.

  • Section 331.206, subsection 2, paragraph a

    A plan selected by the board shall remain in effect for at least six years and shall only be changed by a special election as provided in section 331.207. However, a county with a population of one hundred twenty-five thousand or more based on the most recent federal decennial census shall use plan “three” for the election of supervisors. → A plan selected by the board shall remain in effect for at least six years and shall only be changed by a special election as provided in section 331.207. However, a county with a population of one hundred twenty-five thousand or more based on the most recent federal decennial census shall use plan “three” for the election of supervisors.

    This change reaffirms the requirement for large counties to use plan 'three' for electoral representation.

  • Section 331.207, subsection 6

    subsection 6.

    This change removes existing regulations regarding the petition process for changing representation plans.

  • Section 43.6, subsection 2

    This clarifies the criteria for filling vacancies in the office of county supervisor.

    A vacancy on the board of supervisors shall be filled by special election held to fill the office for the remaining balance of the unexpired term. → A vacancy on the board of supervisors shall be filled by special election held to fill the office for the remaining balance of the unexpired term.
