A bill for an act relating to elections for school district and city officers, and including applicability provisions.

HF 2623 changes Iowa school district and city election timing, moving regular elections from odd-numbered years to even-numbered years (aligning them with general elections). It affects school boards, city councils, and local officers by requiring their regular elections to occur on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November of even-numbered years, starting in 2028. The bill also includes a transition provision: current officeholders whose terms would expire in January of an even-numbered year will serve until the following January and be eligible for reelection in the November election before that January. This change applies to all regular school district and city elections held after November 2, 2027.
