§ 13121 School Ballot Proposition Limits

This law says a voter gets only one ballot for a school election, even if there are several proposals, and the ballot must not include any proposal the voter isn’t allowed to vote on because they don’t live in that area.

Key Takeaways

  • •Only one ballot per voter for a school election, no matter how many proposals there are.
  • •The ballot must only contain proposals the voter is allowed to vote on.
  • •If a voter lives outside the area a proposal covers, that proposal can’t be on their ballot.

Example

A high‑school student lives in District 1 and goes to vote in a school election that has two proposals: one that affects District 1 and another that affects District 2.

The student will receive just one ballot that only has the District 1 proposal, because the law says you can’t give a voter a ballot with a proposal they aren’t allowed to vote on.

However, no voter shall be presented with a ballot containing a proposition on which he or she is not entitled to vote by reason of not residing within the district or area affected by the proposition.
