(a)
Each election of community committee members shall be held on a date, or within a specified period of time, determined by the Deputy Administrator. Such date or period of time shall fall within a period beginning on or after July 1 and ending not later than December 30 each year. Each such election shall be held in accordance with instructions issued by the Deputy Administrator which shall be available for examination in each county office.
(b)
If the number of eligible voters voting in any election of community committee members is so small that the State committee determines that the result of the election does not represent the views of a substantial number of eligible voters, the State committee shall declare the election void and call a new election. If it is determined by the State committee that the election for any position on a community committee has not been held substantially in accordance with official instructions, the State committee shall declare such election void and call a new election.
