Relating to the election of junior college district trustees by plurality vote.

SB 2504 allows junior college district boards to require candidates for trustee positions to win a plurality of votes (more votes than any other candidate) instead of a majority (over 50%) in elections. Boards may adopt this rule via resolution 180 days before an election, and the rule remains in effect until rescinded by a new resolution adopted before the next election. This bill directly affects how local junior college districts conduct trustee elections, changing the voting threshold from majority to plurality. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025.
