Body
WHEREAS, the State of Alabama Code 1975, Section 11-46-57 provides that the City Clerk or other officer performing the duties of the Clerk, as the case may be, shall perform the duties of absentee elections manager as provided in Chapter 11 of Title 17 Code of Alabama 1975, and
WHEREAS, the State of Alabama Code 1975, Section 11-46-37 provides that in the event the Mayor of any city is a candidate in any municipal election he shall be disqualified to perform the duties set forth in Section 11-46-36, and those duties shall be performed by a disinterested person appointed by the governing body of the city, and
