[H 464] 

Approved March 4, 2020 

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

� 3.02:3. Council member resignation to run for new seat.

A. In the event that any council member from one of the 
residence districts shall decide during his term of office to be a candidate 
for an at-large seat, the council member shall tender his resignation as a 
council member not less than 10 days prior to the date for the filing of 
petitions as required by general law. Such resignation shall be effective on 
December 31, shall constitute the council member's intention to run for the 
at-large seat, shall require no formal acceptance by the remaining council 
members, and shall be final and irrevocable when tendered. The unexpired 
portion of the term of any council member who has resigned to run for an 
at-large seat shall be filled at the same general election, or by special 
election if the at-large seat is to be filled by special election.

B. In the event that any council member from one of the 
at-large seats shall decide during his term of office to be a candidate for a 
residence district seat, the council member shall tender his resignation as a 
council member not less than 10 days prior to the date for the filing of 
petitions as required by general law. Such resignation shall be effective on 
December 31, shall constitute the council member's intention to run for the 
residence district seat, shall require no formal acceptance by the remaining 
council members, and shall be final and irrevocable when tendered. The 
unexpired portion of the term of any council member who has resigned to run for 
a residence district seat shall be filled at the same general election, or by 
special election if the residence district seat is to be filled by special
