Bill > HB0602

This bill amends existing Utah law to align local school board elections with municipal election dates, which occur in odd-numbered years. Specifically, it changes the timing of when local school board members are elected to coincide with municipal general elections, which are held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November of each odd-numbered year. The bill also makes conforming changes to various sections of the law related to election dates, primary elections, ballot preparation, and candidate declarations to reflect this shift. Additionally, it includes provisions to adjust the terms of current local school board members to facilitate this transition, ensuring that elections continue to occur in odd-numbered years starting in 2027, and specifies that these changes will take effect on January 1, 2027.
