Solon Charter Amendment: Change To Election Filing Deadline
Issue No. 88 looks to get the city's charter up to date with the state law requiring candidates to file 90 days before an election.
Billed as a “housekeeping” measure, Solon is one of 15 communities in Cuyahoga County looking to update its charter to reflect the state law requiring candidates to file 90 days before a primary election.
The Cuyahoga County Board of Elections asked 15 cities — including Solon, Lakewood and Strongsville — to have the same filing deadline as the state.
The measure will appear on the Nov. 6 ballot as Issue No. 88.
