A bill for an act relating to elections for school district and city officers and bonds, and including applicability provisions.
HF 2191 changes the timing of school district and city elections in Iowa, moving them from odd-numbered year November elections to even-numbered year November elections - aligning them with statewide general elections. It also adds the first Tuesday after the first Monday in June as an option for bond elections.

The bill applies to regular elections held after November 2, 2027.
