A. The City Attorney or any person residing in the jurisdiction, in addition to an award of damages outlined in section 101P, may also seek injunctive relief to enjoin violations or to compel compliance with the provisions of this article.
B. If a candidate is found liable for a violation of any section of this article and a court of law determines that the violation was substantial and that it might have had a bearing on the outcome of an election, that court of law may order equitable relief as follows:
1. If adjudication by a court of law becomes final before the date of the election, the votes for such candidate shall not be counted, and the election shall be determined on the basis of the votes cast for the other candidates in the race.
2. If such adjudication becomes final after the date of the election and if such candidate was declared to have been elected, such candidate shall not assume office, and the City Council shall within thirty (30) days call a special election to fill that vacancy. The special election shall be held not less than 114 days from the call of the special election, but within 365 days from the call of the special election, and at least 365 days before the next regularly scheduled municipal election.
