House Bill 2994 amends the election procedures for the Town of Viola by establishing a schedule for elections and clarifying the qualifications for candidates and voters. The bill specifies that elections will be held every four years on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, starting November 5, 2024. It allows all residents qualified to vote for state assembly members and property owners assessed in the previous January to participate in the elections for two aldermen and one mayor. The bill also stipulates that candidates must be citizens of Viola, residents, and at least 21 years old. In the event of a vacancy due to death, removal, or resignation, the remaining officials can fill the position for the unexpired term.

Additionally, the bill modifies the process for the newly elected officials to convene and elect a Vice-Mayor, Recorder, and Marshal. It removes Section 14 from the previous law and ensures that no current officeholder will be removed or have their term shortened due to these changes. The act requires a two-thirds vote from the legislative body of the Town of Viola for it to take effect, with immediate effectiveness for the approval process.
