This bill amends various sections of Florida Statutes related to the election of county commissioners, district school board members, and district school superintendents. It requires that county commissioners be nominated and elected by qualified electors residing in the same commission district, and establishes membership criteria for county boards based on population, allowing for more commissioners than previously prescribed. The bill also mandates staggered terms for commissioners and repeals the existing alternate election procedures for county commissioners. Additionally, it revises the membership structure of district school boards to align with population criteria and requires that school board members be elected by qualified electors from their respective school districts.

Furthermore, the bill repeals several sections related to alternate election procedures and residency areas for school board members, ensuring that all members are elected by voters in their specific districts. It also clarifies the election and term of office for district school superintendents, while repealing provisions that would allow for their appointment. The bill includes a contingent effective date tied to a proposed amendment to the State Constitution, ensuring that these changes take effect only if the amendment is approved in a future election.
