(A) The Council of the town does hereby request that the County Board of Elections conduct the municipal elections and referendums for the town until this action is rescinded, and in the course of conducting the elections, absentee voting shall be allowed.
(B) The town has elected to use System (1), as set out in G.S. § 163-279(a)(1), in that the town’s elections shall be non-partisan, decided by a simple plurality, and held on Tuesday after the first Monday in November. In addition, special elections or referendums shall be held on any other dates required for the elections or referendums.
(C) The cost of elections shall be borne by the town and shall include such items as advertising, ballots, receipt books, election day officials, mileage, seminars, administration and Social Security, records maintenance, canvass expense, supplies and the costs required in compliance as prescribed by G.S. Chapter 163. It shall be the duty of the county’s Board of Elections to act in the most prudent manner to contain the cost of all elections to the benefit of the town.
(D) The county’s Board of Elections shall provide the means whereby filing for local offices may be performed at and within the Town Hall, as well as at Kenansville. Further, the times in both locations shall be coordinated so that any applicant then awaiting filing shall not be denied such a right because of dispute as to the correct time at a particular location.
