<br />2 <br />DOCSOPEN\MU210\4\804273.v1-7/19/22 <br /> <br />This second option is not in line with the other formatting throughout the Charter and unnecessarily leaves <br />in additional (while minor) length, however it more specifically identifies the language that has been <br />removed. <br /> <br />Time Required for Special Election <br /> <br />What is the statue required total time for Ramsey County to conduct a candidate special election? <br /> <br />Ramsey County Elections Response: “You would need to notify the County with enough time for us to <br />publish the notice of candidate filing. Depending on what election date the Commission would like to <br />conduct the special election a notice of filing must be published at least two weeks before candidate filing <br />starts. If the Commission would like to conduct an election on a regularly scheduled City Election in <br />November candidate filing must begin 94 days before the general election for cities without a primary <br />(Mounds View does not hold a primary).” <br /> <br />What is Ramsey County Elections Office recommendation to smoothly conduct a special election, if it is <br />different than statute? In 2017 Joe Mansky, Ramsey County Elections Manager, advised City Administrator <br />Jim Erickson that 120 days should be considered, however both men are no longer involved in government <br />affairs. <br /> <br />Ramsey County Elections Response: “See above.” <br /> <br />Uniform Election Dates <br /> <br />In reference to the statute exception to uniform election date elections (MN 205.02 Subd.2), if Mounds <br />View specified 120 days for a special election and because the Charter specifies the manner of holding a <br />special election, could Ramsey County conduct a special election on the 120 day schedule at time, or must <br />it be on the "uniform election dates" to avoid additional expenses of a special election? <br /> <br />Ramsey County Elections Response: “The City will be charged for any special election not occurring on <br />your regularly scheduled elections held on the November date.” <br /> <br />Legal Response: When a general provision in a law is in conflict with a specific provision in the same or a <br />different law, the two shall be construed, when possible, so that effect may be given to both. If that cannot <br />be done, the specific provision shall control unless the general provision was more recently adopted. Minn. <br />Stat. 645.26. <br /> <br />Minn. Stat. 205.10, subd. 3a (a) providing that “[a] home rule charter city must not designate additional <br />dates in its charter”, (adopted in 2017) therefore does apply even though it could be read to conflict with <br />Minn. Stat. 205.02, subd. 2, providing that Minn. Stat. 205.10 does not apply to a city whose charter <br />provides the manner of holding its primary, general, or special elections (last amended in 2013).
