NORTH CAROLINA GENERAL ASSEMBLY

1963 SESSION

CHAPTER 659

SENATE BILL 490

AN ACT TO PROVIDE FOR THE ELECTION OF THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF THE TOWN OF VALDESE BY THE VOTERS OF THE TOWN AT LARGE.

The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact:

Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, the members of the Board of Commissioners of the Town of Valdese in Burke County shall be elected by the voters of the Town at large. Each candidate for the office of commissioner shall have been a resident of the ward from which he is a candidate for a period of not less than thirty (30) days next preceding the date of the election. The candidate in each ward receiving the greatest number of votes from the voters of the Town at large shall be declared elected commissioner from the ward in which he was a candidate. This Act is not intended to vary the staggered terms of the commissioners or in any other wise to affect Chapter 220 of the Session Laws of 1949 except to provide for election in each case by the voters of the Town at large with respect to each commissioner of a ward rather than merely by the voters of the ward in question.

Sec. 2. All laws and clauses of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

Sec. 3. This Act shall be in full force and effect from and after its ratification.

In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 4th day of June, 1963.
