§ 10522 District Election Boundary Maps

This law says the secretary of a voting district must send a map and election details to the county elections office at least 125 days before the next district election.

Key Takeaways

  • •The deadline is at least 125 days before the election.
  • •The secretary must include a map of the district and any internal divisions.
  • •The statement must say where directors are elected and if any officers are elected by the whole district.

Example

A small town is getting ready for its upcoming district election. The town secretary gathers a map of the district, notes which neighborhoods will elect a director, and whether any officials will be elected by the whole district. He then mails this information to the county elections official more than four months before the election day.

Because the law requires the map and statement to be sent at least 125 days ahead, the county elections office gets the info in time to prepare ballots and inform voters.
