Filling GA Vacancies
LWVMD Supports:
- special primary and special general elections to fill vacancies in the Maryland General Assembly to be held at the same time as other regularly scheduled elections (tie-in elections).
- a temporary gubernatorial appointment to fill legislative vacancies based on local political party committee recommendations until elections are held.
- additional statewide standards regulating the central committee nominating process to fill legislative vacancies; public notice of meetings within the vacated district for public input, the public announcement of candidates prior to that meeting, and a publicly recorded vote of each committee member.
