Bill > HB4339

This bill changes the election date for local school board members from the primary election to the general election, which is the main election held every two years. It also establishes new rules for how candidates are elected, ensuring that no more than two members can be elected or serve from the same magisterial district, which is a geographical subdivision within a county. The bill specifies how eligibility for election is determined, especially for unexpired terms, based on the residency of current board members and the number of representatives already serving from a particular district. It clarifies that candidates elected will take office based on the votes received, even if they don't have a majority or plurality, and outlines procedures for breaking ties in election results.
