AI Summary
This bill modifies election procedures for school board candidates by specifying the order in which their names will appear on ballots. If there are multiple candidates for a school board office, they will be grouped according to their political party's performance in the last election for secretary of state, with major parties listed first, followed by other parties and then independent candidates. Within each of these groupings, if there is more than one candidate, their names will be listed in alphabetical order by surname. This change applies to both paper ballots and electronic voting systems. The bill also declares an emergency, meaning it takes effect immediately upon passage.
