QUALIFIED ELECTOR DEFINED The City Charter provides that one shall have been for at least two years preceding his election or appointment to the City Council a qualified elector of the City.

Thus, to be an eligible candidate for election to the Council on April 12, 1966, one would have to have been a resi- dent of the City for two years and 54 days, which would mean the candidate would have to be a legal resident and over 21 years of age from February 18, 1964 to date; would have to have lived in the County for two years and 90 days from January 13, 1964, and in the State for three years from April 12, 1963.
