Summary
Alabama added a year to mayors’ terms, but a Baldwin County mayor is saying no thanks—so local voters may see a different election timeline than the rest of the state. It’s a small but telling fight over who controls city leadership and how long they stay.

Impact analysis
Probably little direct cost to taxpayers—maybe minor election-administration or transition expenses—but the bigger issue is continuity, not cash.
Voters and candidates get clearer local control over election timing, and the mayor avoids an extra year he didn’t want.
No groups negatively affected.
