1965/66/67 session laws – Ch.203 Sec.1

Chapter 213 of the Private Laws of 1903 is hereby amended by rewriting Sections 3 and 4 thereof to read as follows: Sec. 38 The corporate powers of the town shall be exercised by a Board of Councilmen of six members, elected as provided by this Act. Regular town elections shall be held on the Tuesday after the first Monday in May of each odd-numbered year. At each election, the qualified voters of the town voting at large shall elect a mayor, and shall elect two councilmen 245 from each of the three wards, all to serve for terms of two years, or until their successors are elected and qualified. In each election, the candidate for mayor who receives the largest number of votes cast for mayor shall be declared elected, and the two candidates for councilman from each ward who receive the largest numbers of votes cast for candidates who reside in the ward wherein they reside shall be declared elected. Sec. 4 G. S. 160-31, insofar as it requires a separate polling place in each ward, shall not apply to the Town of Plymouth. The Board of Councilmen may, in its discretion, establish one or more polling places, and may from time to time change the polling place or places.
