Latest version.
  • The City is divided into six (6) election wards to correspond with the six (6) City Commissioner's districts prescribed by law, but it is directed and provided that voting shall be according to election precincts within the wards, which precincts have heretofore been or may hereafter be established by the Board of County Commissioners of Orange County, it being intended hereby to provide for voting in municipal elections according to county precinct lines within the limits of the City provided, however, that, in the event the Board of County Commissioners should fail, neglect or be unable to establish precincts all of which would be within the City limits of the City, then only qualified voters of such precincts living within the City limits of the City shall be entitled to vote in the municipal elections and the City Clerk and Supervisor of Elections shall make proper arrangements for such qualified voters to vote in the municipal elections. Nothing in this section shall prevent the City or Supervisor of Elections from consolidating more than one precinct in a single polling location.
