School Board Election Date Act

HB 4608, the School Board Election Date Act, requires all West Virginia school districts to hold board elections on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November - coinciding with general elections. It also mandates that candidate names be listed alphabetically on ballots for school board races. The bill applies directly to all West Virginia public school districts and their voters, standardizing election timing and ballot formatting without altering voting eligibility or school governance policies. This procedural change aims to streamline elections while aligning them with existing statewide voting schedules.
