Type A - Notices of Elections
The Type A Notice is an “announcement” that an election will occur in the near future. The Type A Notice lists the offices up for election and the current incumbents.
Type C Notices
The Type C Notice is different from the Type A Notice of Referendum. It includes the resolution that directed the referendum, as well as an explanatory statement which describes the effect of a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ vote.
A copy of the Type C Notice must be provided to municipal clerks for posting at each polling place on Election Day.
