Automatic spring primary thresholds

Monroe

Summary

Under this charter ordinance, a spring primary would be held automatically if four or more candidates file for mayor, or if alderperson candidacies exceed twice the open seats — no special council meeting needed after filing deadline. It only applies when no state or federal primary is otherwise required.
