Clarifying term of office of a precinct committee representative
HB 309 clarifies the term of office for precinct committee representatives, who represent their political parties within a specific precinct. The bill specifies that a representative's 2-year term begins on the date their election is officially certified. This term then concludes on the date the subsequent election for that position is certified. For representatives appointed to fill a vacancy, their term concludes upon the certification of the next election.
