GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF NORTH CAROLINA

EXTRA SESSION 1991

 

 

CHAPTER 3

HOUSE BILL 14

 

AN ACT TO PROVIDE THAT CHAPTER 1 OF THE 1991 EXTRA SESSION DOES NOT AFFECT THE FILING PERIOD FOR THE HIGH POINT CITY ELECTIONS.

Whereas, Chapter 1 of the 1991 Extra Session was designed to delay filing for certain elections; and

Whereas, Chapter 40 of the 1991 Regular Session provides a filing period for High Point municipal elections during June and July of 1992, and it was not the intent to advance that filing period; Now, therefore,

 

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

 

Section 1.  Section 1 of Chapter 1, Session Laws of the Extra Session of 1991, reads as rewritten:

"Section 1.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, the filing of notices of candidacy for 1992 only for:

(1)       Primary elections for all offices; and

(2)       Elections for all other offices conducted on the day of the primary

shall be postponed and conducted in accordance with Section 2 of this act, except that nominations under the Presidential Preference Primary Act shall be made as if this act had not been enacted, and except that filing of notices of candidacy for any non-partisan election held on May 5, 1992, where there is a primary earlier in 1992, shall be made as if this act had not been enacted, and except that this act does not affect the filing period for Mayor and City Council of the City of High Point as established by Section 1 of Chapter 40 of the 1991 Session Laws."

Sec. 2.  This act is effective upon ratification.

In the General Assembly read three times and ratified this the 14th day of January, 1992.
