House Bill 2458 aims to establish the School Board Election Date Act in West Virginia by adding a new article to the Code of West Virginia. The bill specifies that school district elections for board members will take place on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, aligning with the general election. Additionally, it outlines that the replacement of school board members who resign or pass away will follow the existing provisions in section 18-5-2.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that candidates for school board positions be listed alphabetically on the ballot. It also includes a severability clause, ensuring that if any part of the act is deemed invalid, the remaining provisions will still be enforceable. This legislation seeks to standardize the election process for school boards in West Virginia, enhancing clarity and consistency in the electoral system.
