The bill amends the Michigan election law by modifying the nomination process for candidates to the state board of education. It establishes that at the fall state convention of 1964, each political party may nominate eight candidates for varying term lengths. However, starting from the fall state convention of 1966 and every two years thereafter, each political party is allowed to nominate two candidates, subject to the new provisions outlined in section 282b.

Section 282b introduces a new structure for the nomination process by dividing the state into four districts, with specific counties designated for each district. Each political party is required to nominate candidates from these districts at specified intervals: in 2026 and every eight years thereafter for districts 1 and 4, and in 2028 and every eight years thereafter for districts 2 and 3. This structured approach aims to ensure representation from different regions of the state in the nominations for the state board of education.
