-
(a) In general. -- In this title the following words have the meanings indicated.
** REVISOR'S NOTE
This subsection is new language added as the standard introductory language to a definition section.
(b) Municipal charter. -- "Municipal charter" means a charter adopted under Article XI-E of the Maryland Constitution and a local law enacted by the General Assembly relating to the incorporation, organization, government, or affairs concerning administration and services of a municipality.
** REVISOR'S NOTE
This subsection is new language derived without substantive change from former Art. 23A, § 9(e).
** REVISOR'S NOTE
The reference to a "charter adopted under Article XI-E of the Maryland Constitution" is substituted for the former reference to the "existing charter" for clarity.
** DEFINED TERM:
"Municipality" § 1-101
**
(c) Qualified voter. -- "Qualified voter" means an individual authorized under a municipal charter to vote in elections in the municipality.
REVISOR'S NOTE
This subsection is new language derived without substantive change from former Art. 23A, § 9(d).
REVISOR'S NOTE
The reference to "an individual" is substituted for the former reference to "persons" because only a human being and not the other entities included in the definition of "person" can vote in a municipal election.
REVISOR'S NOTE
The former reference to the term "qualified to vote" is deleted as unnecessary because the term was not used in the former law, nor is it used in this revision.
