HB 31 North Carolina House · 2023-2024 Session

Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education Elections.

This bill restructures the Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education by replacing its current at-large election system with seven single-member districts based on specific high school attendance zones. It establishes staggered four-year terms for board members, ensuring that voters in each district can only elect a candidate who lives within that same district. Additionally, the legislation changes how board members are elected from a non-partisan process to a partisan one, aligning these elections with the general election cycle for county officers. The act also outlines procedures for filling vacancies, requiring that any appointee reside in the specific district where the seat became empty.
