Bill Summary
AN ACT TO REQUIRE A REFERENDUM ON WHETHER TO CHANGE THE ELECTION METHOD FOR THE ALEXANDER COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION FROM NONPARTISAN TO PARTISAN.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to change the election method for the Alexander County Board of Education from nonpartisan to partisan. It would require a referendum in the 2024 general election for voters to decide on this change. If approved, the bill would increase the number of board members from six to seven, with one member elected from each of seven single-member districts. Candidates would be nominated and elected on a partisan basis, in the same manner as other county officers. The bill also includes provisions for staggered terms, filling vacancies, and transitioning to the new system. The changes would take effect for elections starting in 2026 if the referendum is approved.
