§ 10521 District Voter Qualification Rules

This law says that each district gets to decide who can vote, how many votes each person gets, and how to figure that out, based on the district's main rulebook.

Key Takeaways

•Each district makes its own rules about voter qualifications.
•The district also decides how many votes each voter can cast.
•The method for figuring out the number of votes comes from the district's main law.

Example

A town holds an election for its local school board. The town's main charter says that any resident who is 18 or older can vote and that each voter gets one vote.

Because the town's principal act sets the rules, the town decides who can vote and that each person only gets one vote. The state law doesn't tell them otherwise.

Qualifications of voters of a district, the number of votes each voter may cast, and the method of determining that number of votes shall be governed by the principal act of that district. (Enacted by Stats. 1994, Ch. 920, Sec. 2.)
