Local Elections Sample Clauses

The 'Local Elections' clause defines the rules and procedures governing the conduct of elections at the local or municipal level. It typically outlines eligibility requirements for candidates and voters, the process for nominating candidates, and the methods for casting and counting votes. For example, it may specify the frequency of elections, the roles to be filled, and the authorities responsible for overseeing the process. The core function of this clause is to ensure fair, transparent, and orderly local elections, thereby promoting democratic participation and legitimacy in local governance.
