2003 House Bill 4820

Senate Roll Call 613: Passed

To require school board elections to be held on the Tuesday after the first Monday in either May or November, and consolidate school bond and millage elections to one of the four days on which all elections would be held in the state, as proposed in House Bills 4821 and 4824. The bill would also require all school elections, including intermediate school district (ISD) elections, to take place in the same polling places as other types of elections, and be run by municipal or county election officials, with the same absentee voter and other procedures as all other elections. Schools could also hold one annual special election on a Tuesday "floater" date as specified in Senate Bill 877. The bill is part of an election consolidation and reform package comprised of House Bills 4820 to 4828, and Senate Bill 877.
