A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO PROVIDE FOR PARTISAN ELECTIONS IN THE CITY OF HIGH POINT.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  Section 3.1 of the Charter of the City of High Point, being Chapter 501 of the Session Laws of 1979, as amended under Part 4 of Article 5 of Chapter 160A of the General Statutes, is rewritten to read:
  "Sec. 3.1.  Method of election.  Regular municipal elections shall be held in the City biennially in odd-numbered years, and shall be conducted in accordance with State law governing municipal elections.  The mayor and members of the council shall be elected by the partisan primary election and method provided for in G.S. 163-291."
Sec. 2.  This act applies beginning with the 1995 primary and election.  In case of any conflict between this act and ordinances amending the City Charter under Part 4 of Article 5 of Chapter 160A of the General Statutes, including those of April 14, 1986 and November 20, 1986, this act prevails to the extent of the conflict.
