Relating to the election of junior college district trustees by plurality vote.
HB 4032 changes how junior college district trustees are elected in Texas by replacing the requirement for a majority vote (with runoff elections if no candidate wins a majority) with a plurality system, where the candidate receiving the most votes wins. This bill affects all junior college districts statewide, with a specific provision setting election dates for certain large districts (those in counties with 2.5 million+ residents containing a city over 1.18 million) to the first Saturday in April of even-numbered years. The bill repeals an existing law section and takes effect on September 1, 2025.
