The Sub-Section (d) of Section 175 as amended shall read as follows:
175. QUALIFICATIONS OF VOTERS

(d) The governing body of the municipality is hereby declared to be a Mayor
and seven persons to be City Councilmen. In the 1966 regular election, and in each
subsequent two-year period thereafter, a Mayor will be elected who shall serve for
a term of two years or until his successor is elected and qualified, and who may
qualify therefor from either District, and in the 1966 regular election, four
councilmen will be elected, one from the First District, without voter participation
from the Second District, another from the Second District, without voter
participation from the First District, both of whom will serve until the regular
election in 1970. The remaining two councilmen will be elected at large, who must
be eligible to file from either district and who will be elected by persons eligible to
vote from both districts. The councilman-at-large receiving the highest number of
votes will serve from the regular election of 1966 to the regular election in 1968. In
the 1968 regular election, and thereafter, all vacancies will be filled for full
four-year terms, or until the succeeding councilmembers are elected and qualified,
but the councilman elected in 1968 from the Second District will be elected only by
those persons eligible to vote in that area and the two councilmen to be elected in
1968 from the First District will be elected only by those persons eligible to vote in
that district. The councilman-at-large elected in that year will be elected by
qualified voters of both areas. Following the regular election in 1968 and prior to
the regular election in 1970, the district boundary at 41st Street is hereby declared
to be eliminated and the seven councilmen serving the town of Ocean City will all
be elected at large. In the 1966 and 1968 regular elections, persons eligible to vote
or be candidates from both districts may elect to vote or be a candidate in one or
in the other, but not in both.
