§ 10509 District Election Notice Requirements

• •The notice must be sent 125 days before the election.
• •It must have the secretary’s signature and the district seal.
• •It must list the offices to be filled and note any unexpired‑term seats.
• •It must say whether the district or the candidate will pay for publishing qualification statements.

A school district is getting ready for its next election. On the day that is 125 days before the election, the district secretary signs and stamps a notice and mails it to the county elections office. The notice lists the teacher‑representative seat and the board‑member seat that are being voted on, notes that the teacher‑representative seat is filling the rest of someone’s term, and says the district will pay for the candidates’ qualification flyers.

Because the secretary followed the rule—sending the notice on time, signing it, sealing it, and including the required details—the county elections office knows exactly what positions are on the ballot and who will cover the cost of publishing the candidates’ qualifications.
