§ 80. Biennial town elections. Notwithstanding any provision of any

general, special or local law, charter, code, ordinance, resolution,

rule or regulation to the contrary, a biennial town election for the

election of town officers, other than town justices or any town office

and for the consideration of such questions as may be proposed by the

town board or the duly qualified electors, pursuant to the provisions of

this chapter, shall be held on the Tuesday next succeeding the first

Monday in November of every even-numbered year. All other town elections

are special elections. A town election or special town election held

pursuant to this chapter, shall be construed as a substitute, for a town

meeting or a special town meeting heretofore provided to be held by law,

and a reference in any law to a town meeting or special town meeting

shall be construed as referring to a town election or special town

election. Any town completely coterminous with a village shall continue

to elect its officers, including town justices, in odd-numbered years if

both such village and town last held such elections in an odd-numbered

year prior to January first, two thousand twenty-five.
