§ 102334 District Election Procedures

This law says a district must hold its elections the same way a county runs special elections, and it can let the county run the election and pay for it first, then get paid back later.

Key Takeaways

  • •Elections must follow the same rules counties use for special elections.
  • •The district can hire the county or let county officials run the election.
  • •If the district doesn’t have money yet, a city or county can pay first and be reimbursed later.

Example

A school district needs to hold a board election but doesn’t have enough money yet.

The district asks the county to run the election and the county pays the costs now. Later, when the district gets its own money, it pays the county back.

§ 102334 District Election Procedures

Each election shall be called and conducted by the district in the same manner as provided by law for the conduct of special elections by a county. The board may contract with a county, or delegate to the appropriate county officials the authority, to conduct the election within the county on behalf of the district. The costs of any such election may be advanced to the district by any city or county prior to the time that the district has revenues of its own, to be repaid from subsequent district revenues. (Added by Stats. 1971, Ch. 1374.)
