Requested by the State Election Board secretary, Senate Bill 347 prohibits municipalities and political subdivisions from holding an election on the second Tuesday of December 2021 or the second Tuesday of January or March 2022 for the offices of U.S. representative, state senator or representative and county commission districts following the reapportionment of those districts.
