This bill amends the scheduling of elections for school district and city officers in Iowa, changing the regular election date from the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November of each odd-numbered year to the same date in even-numbered years. This aligns school district and city elections with general elections. Additionally, it stipulates that school district and city officers whose terms would typically expire in January of an even-numbered year will now serve until the following January and can seek reelection in the preceding November. This change will take effect for elections held after November 2, 2027.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a new date for special elections related to issuing bonds or other indebtedness, allowing them to be held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in June, in addition to the previously established date in November. This provides more flexibility for political subdivisions in scheduling these important elections.
