This bill amends existing laws regarding school district elections in Oklahoma, specifically addressing the dates for general and primary elections, as well as the filing process for candidates. The general election for members of the board of education will now be held on the second Tuesday of November in odd-numbered years and on the first Tuesday after the first Monday of November in even-numbered years. The primary election will take place on the second Tuesday in June of odd-numbered years and on the third Tuesday of June in even-numbered years. Additionally, the bill specifies that candidates must declare their political party affiliation or nonpartisan status, which will be displayed next to their names on the ballots.

Furthermore, the bill modifies the timeline for filing declarations of candidacy, allowing candidates to file from 8:00 a.m. on the first Wednesday in April until 5:00 p.m. on the following Friday. This change aims to streamline the election process and ensure clarity regarding candidate eligibility and party affiliation. The effective date for these changes is set for December 1, 2025.
