Sec. 3.2. (a) A county executive may file a petition with the election division requesting the commission to waive the requirements imposed by section 3 of this chapter. The petition must:
(1) identify each precinct to be subject to the waiver;
(2) state the number of voters that would be included in each precinct described in subdivision (1) if the waiver is granted; and
(3) state the reasons why the waiver should be granted.
(b) If the commission determines that compliance with the requirements of section 3 of this chapter would result in unnecessary expense and inconvenience for the county, the commission may grant a waiver exempting some or all of the precincts identified in the petition from section 3 of this chapter.
(c) A waiver granted for a precinct under this section expires when the county executive submits a subsequent proposed precinct establishment order for that precinct.
As added by P.L.8-1990, SEC.2. Amended by P.L.2-1996, SEC.126; P.L.3-1997, SEC.241.
