regular election

regular election
For most, although not all, purposes the same as a general election. The expression does not necessarily mean general election, or township election, or any state, county, city, or district election. It simply means the regular election prescribed by law for the election of the particular officer to be elected. People v Budd, 114 Cal 168, 45 P 1060. The words "regular general election" may mean an election at which officers are to be regularly elected or "regular" may be used merely to exclude special elections, or it may be used synonymously or interchangeably with the word "general." Allen v State, 14 Ariz 458, 130 P 1114.
