Tennessee Supreme Court moves up Nashville mayoral special election to May
In an unanimous 5-0 opinion written by
Chief Justice Jeff Bivins, the court agreed with the plaintiff, Ludye
Wallace, on the central issue of the case — that there's a distinction
between a "general election" and a "metropolitan general election." It
came one day after oral arguments on the case.
"The
next 'general metropolitan election' is the August 2019 election," the
opinion reads. "Because the date of that election is more than twelve
months from the date of the mayoral vacancy, (the Metro Charter)
requires that a special election be set."
