become vacant If an elected City officer pleads guilty or no contest to or is
convicted of a felony or any crime of moral turpitude, or ceases to be an elector

existence of such vacancy Any elective officer of the City who shall accept

more elective public offices, if successfully elected to more than one office, would only
be permitted to hold one It is permissible however for Huntington Beach elected

Central Committee

before taking the oath to hold an elected position in the City of Huntington Beach

candidates who need more detailed clarification of Section 312 (b) of the Huntington
