The Regierungsrat interpreted Art. 48 KV to mean that municipal councils have a four-year term and must be renewed simultaneously. Because that term had expired, the 1974 general renewal elections were required for all municipal councils. The decision further held that newly created church councils are governed by the same logic as interim vacancies: members appointed during the term serve only the remainder of that term, and the timing of general renewal remains uniform.
Art. 48 KV; simultaneous general renewal of municipal councils and analogous treatment of newly created councils; the constitutional four-year term applies to all municipal councils, so once it expires a general renewal must be carried out for all such councils at the same time. This requirement is not limited to bodies already renewed in the prior cycle. For councils created during a term, Art. 48(3) KV applies by analogy: members elected to fill newly created or vacant seats serve only the remainder of the term. The decisive criterion is the unity of the renewal date for all members of the same council (consid. no specific numbering given).
Entscheidpublikation VVGE 1971/75 Nr. 32, S. 30:
Art. 48 KV.
Verfassungsmässige Amtsdauer. Gleichzeitige Gesamterneuerung aller Gemeinderäte.
Entscheid des Regierungsrates vom 14. Mai 1974 (Nr. 55).
Die Amtsdauer der Gemeinderäte beträgt laut Art. 48 Abs. 1 KV vier Jahre. Ihre Amtsdauer ist also abgelaufen, darum finden in diesem Jahr (1974) die Gesamterneuerungswahlen statt. Die Pflicht zur Durchführung der Gesamterneuerungswahlen bezieht sich auf alle Arten von Gemeinderäten, wie in der Kantonsverfassung unmissverständlich festgehalten wird, und nicht etwa nur auf jene Gemeinderäte, die im Jahre 1970 gesamthaft erneuert wurden. Für die Kirchgemeinderäte, die erst vor kurzem geschaffen wurden, gilt analog die Bestimmung von Art. 48 Abs. 3 KV, wonach während der Amtsdauer frei gewordene Stellen nur für den Rest der Amtsdauer neu besetzt werden können. Es kommt zudem auf dasselbe hinaus, ob ein Rat während der Amtsdauer neu geschaffen oder ob er um einige Mitglieder erweitert wurde; auch in diesem Fall wäre ja der Zeitpunkt der Gesamterneuerung für alle Mitglieder gleich.

Whether Art. 48 KV requires the simultaneous general renewal of all municipal councils in 1974.
Yes. The four-year term had expired, so the general renewal elections had to be held in 1974 for all municipal councils.
Art. 48(1) KV sets a four-year term, and the constitution clearly requires a general renewal for all types of municipal councils, not only those renewed in 1970.
Whether newly created church councils may be exempt from general renewal and instead be renewed at different times.
No. Newly created church councils are treated analogously under Art. 48(3) KV, so vacancies filled during a term may only be filled for the remainder of that term.
For councils created during a term, and likewise for councils merely expanded during a term, the timing of the next general renewal must remain uniform for all members.
