Be it further enacted, that elections of councilmembers under this charter shall be held under the same provisions of the state law under which elections are prescribed to be held for such officials as Sheriff or Trustee of Cumberland County, in all things except as to the time and date thereof.
However, if the city shall have by appropriate ordinance provided precincts in the several wards so that residents of each shall vote in the ward where he lives, the election shall be held and the voting places designated accordingly by the County Election Commission.
