SB1674 proposes amendments to the Arizona Revised Statutes concerning school district governing board elections. The bill stipulates that if a governing board election includes any unexpired vacant terms, the candidates with the highest number of votes will fill all full four-year terms, and those with the next highest number of votes will fill the remainder of any unexpired terms. Additionally, the bill exempts nomination petitions for candidates seeking to fill an unexpired term in a general governing board election from the requirement to designate the term's expiration date on the petition.
The bill makes technical and conforming changes to the current law and will become effective on the general effective date. The proposed changes aim to streamline the process for filling unexpired terms and clarify the election procedures for school district governing board members.
