SECTION
1.
An
Act creating the Board of Commissioners of Wayne County, approved March 6, 1962
(Ga. L. 1962, p. 3110), as amended, is amended by striking Section 2 and
inserting in lieu thereof the following:
"SECTION
2.
Commissioner districts.
Commissioner districts.
(a)
The Board of Commissioners of Wayne County shall be composed of five members who
shall be elected as provided in this Act. For purposes of electing members of
the board of commissioners, Wayne County is divided into five commissioner
districts. The districts shall be and correspond to those five numbered
districts described in and attached to and made a part of this Act and further
identified as 'Plan: wayneccsbR-2012 Plan Type: Local Administrator: Wayne User:
Gina'.
(b)
For purposes of such plan:
(1)
The term 'VTD' shall mean and describe the same geographical boundaries as
provided in the report of the Bureau of the Census for the United States
decennial census of 2010 for the State of Georgia. The separate numeric
designations in a district description which are underneath a 'VTD' heading
shall mean and describe individual Blocks within a VTD as provided in the report
of the Bureau of the Census for the United States decennial census of 2010 for
the State of Georgia.
(2)
Except as otherwise provided in the description of any commissioner district,
whenever the description of such district refers to a named city, it shall mean
the geographical boundaries of that city as shown on the census map for the
United States decennial census of 2010 for the State of Georgia.
(c)
Any part of Wayne County which is not included in any such district described in
subsection (a) of this section shall be included within that district contiguous
to such part which contains the least population according to the United States
decennial census of 2010 for the State of Georgia.
(d)
Any part of Wayne County which is described in subsection (a) of this section as
being in a particular district shall nevertheless not be included within such
district if such part is not contiguous to such district. Such noncontiguous
part shall instead be included within that district contiguous to such part
which contains the least population according to the United States decennial
census of 2010 for the State of Georgia."
SECTION
2.
Said
Act is further amended by striking Section 3 and inserting in lieu thereof the
following:
"SECTION
3.
Elections and terms of office.
Elections and terms of office.
(a)
A commissioner shall be elected from each of the five commissioner districts
described in Section 2 of this Act. No person shall be a member of the board if
that person is ineligible for such office pursuant to Code Section 45-2-1 of the
O.C.G.A. or any other general law applicable to that office. In order to be
elected as a member of the board from a commissioner district, a person must
receive the number of votes cast as required by general law for that office in
that district only. Only electors who are residents of that commissioner
district may vote for a member of the board for that district. At the time of
qualifying for election as a member of the board from a commissioner district,
each candidate for such office shall specify the commissioner district for which
that person is a candidate. A person elected or appointed as a member of the
board from a commissioner district must continue to reside in that district
during that person's term of office or that office shall become
vacant.
(b)
The members of the reconstituted Board of Commissioners of Wayne County shall be
elected at the general election on the Tuesday next following the first Monday
in November 2014. The members of the board elected thereto in 2014 shall take
office on the first day of January immediately following that election for terms
of office which expire December 31, 2018, and upon the election and
qualification of their respective successors. Future successors to members of
the board whose terms of office are to expire shall be elected at the time of
the November state-wide general election immediately preceding the expiration of
such terms, shall take office on the first day of January immediately following
that election, and shall have terms of office of four years each and until their
respective successors are elected and qualified.
(c)
All members of the board who are elected thereto shall be nominated and elected
in accordance with Chapter 2 of Title 21 of the O.C.G.A., the 'Georgia Election
Code.'"
SECTION
3.
The
Board of Commissioners of Wayne County shall through its legal counsel cause
this Act to be submitted for preclearance under Section 5 of the federal Voting
Rights Act of 1965, as amended, no later than 45 days after the date on which
this Act is approved by the Governor or otherwise becomes law without such
approval.
SECTION
4.
If,
as of the first date upon which candidates may begin qualifying for the general
primary in 2012, implementation of this Act is not permissible under the federal
Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended, then as of such date this Act shall be
void and stand repealed in its entirety.
SECTION
5.
All
laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.
