This law requires city officials to publish a "Notice of Election" between 113 and 127 days before a municipal election to inform the public about the election date and the offices up for election, specifying whether terms are full or short. For special elections filling a vacancy, if the city hasn't passed a specific ordinance, the notice must also say that an appointment might be made if only one or no candidates are nominated. If there are no local newspapers, the notice should be typed and posted in at least three public places.

This section provides a template for announcing municipal elections. It specifies the need to include whether the election is general or special, and the details such as the city, election date, and names of the officers being elected. Additionally, it states that the notice must indicate the polling hours. The notice ends with a signature area for the City Elections Official and a date.

This law requires the Secretary of State to send a notice to county election officials at least 158 days before a primary election, listing the offices that candidates will be nominated for, excluding county officers and judges.

The list must appear in a newspaper of general circulation within the area where the election takes place. If there's no such newspaper, the list must be typed and posted in at least three public places in the city.

Before every election, officials need to share a list of polling places and the political party affiliations of precinct board members without naming them. This list is posted a week before the election and updated after. It's made available both at the office and online if possible and stays up for 30 days after voting results are finalized. Officials also handle local posting if needed, and lists can be accessed later for a small fee. This rule isn't for elections held at vote centers.

This section outlines the requirements for publishing a list of polling places before an election. If deemed necessary, the elections official must publish the list in newspapers to ensure voters are informed. The list should be divided and distributed to ensure it reaches each city and unincorporated area adequately. Different types of newspapers can be used based on what's available in the area. Importantly, these rules do not apply when elections are conducted using vote centers.

This law states that election officials must arrange contracts to publish information about polling places for each election precinct. They have to decide how much to pay for this publication. The rate they pay should be consistent across all newspapers and can vary based on how widely each newspaper is circulated. It's important for these contracts to include all legally required details related to the polling places. However, this rule does not apply to elections using vote centers.

This law requires election officials to check and display the political party preference of precinct board members, based on their voter registration. If a board member didn't express a party preference, "None" is to be shown. The display should not include the member's names. This rule does not apply to elections using vote centers.

This law states that if the ballots from an election are to be counted at a central location instead of at each voting precinct, the elections official or relevant authority must announce the public place where the tallying will occur. This announcement should be made through at least one newspaper publication within the jurisdiction holding the election, and it must appear no less than 10 days before the election day. If there isn't a local newspaper, the notice must be posted prominently in the office of the elections official for at least 10 days before the election.

This section requires that for municipal elections in a city, a list of candidates, along with the offices they are running for, must be publicly announced. This announcement has to be made no later than one week before the election. The list should appear in a newspaper that is widely read in the city. If the city doesn't have such a newspaper, the city official must post a typed notice in at least three public places.

The notice should be clearly titled 'Nominees for Public Office' and provide details about the nominees and their respective offices. This ensures transparency and informs the public of the individuals running for office.

This law section requires that before a municipal election on a measure, a brief summary, or synopsis, of the measure must be published by the city elections official. This publication must occur at least one week before the election in a newspaper that widely circulates within the city. If no such newspaper exists, the information must be posted in at least three conspicuous public places in the city. The notice must be clearly marked as a 'Measure To Be Voted On' with details about the election date and city.

If the measure is listed on the ballot before the election notice under a different section is published, both notices can be combined into one by the city elections official.

This law requires that the elections official of the main county publish a notice about the upcoming general district election 90 to 120 days before it occurs.

The notice should include the election date, available offices, qualifications for each office, the place to get candidacy paperwork, and the final deadline for filing. If there aren't enough candidates, appointments to positions might be made as specified by another law.

Additionally, there has to be a press release that lists the district's open positions for the election and provides a phone number for voters to get more details about filing for a position.

This law requires the county elections official to quickly deliver a copy of all published election notices to the secretary of a school or special district. These notices must then be displayed in the district office for public viewing.
