§ 5343 Consolidated Election Notice Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •If a school or community college election is combined with another election, the notice doesn't have to list all the details like where to vote or who is running it.
  • •Instead, the notice can just say that the voting places and people in charge will be the same as the other election.
  • •The notice should mention where to find the details of the other election, like the name of the newspaper where it was announced.
  • •If the election is combined with a big statewide election, the notice doesn't need to mention where to find the details.

Example

Your local school district election is happening on the same day as the big statewide election.

The notice for the school election doesn't need to list all the voting places or who is in charge. It can just say that everything will be the same as the big statewide election, and you don't need to look up any extra details.
