§ 30-5. Applicability of state law to city elections generally.

(a)

In all city elections held under this chapter, where any questions shall arise which are not settled by acts of the state legislature particularly applicable to the city or by this chapter, then, and in such event, the general laws of the state and particularly the state election code, as amended, applying to like situations involving state and county elections shall govern, so far as the general laws of the state may be applicable. In the application of such general laws, the city clerk shall be substituted in lieu of the county supervisor of elections and the city commission shall be substituted in lieu of the board of county commissioners whenever such substitution would give sense and meaning to such statutes insofar as the statutes would otherwise be applicable to municipal elections.

(b)

The general laws of the state shall be particularly applicable and controlling as to the handling of city elections, issuance of necessary certificates, assisting voters and similar responsibilities of the precinct board of elections.
