This bill proposes significant changes to the election process in the town of Conway by eliminating the caucuses for the nomination of town officers. Instead, candidates will be nominated through the filing of nomination papers, as outlined in sections 7 and 10 of chapter 35 of the general laws. Additionally, the bill mandates that ballots used in regular or special town elections will not display any party or political designations, nor will candidates' names include any political marks.
The bill overrides existing laws and by-laws that may conflict with these new provisions, ensuring a streamlined and non-partisan approach to local elections. It is designed to take effect immediately upon passage, reflecting a shift towards a more independent electoral process in Conway.
