Registered voters of the district shall elect directors to the Board of Education at regular school elections held on the first Tuesday following the first Monday of November in each odd‑numbered year.
The Board has adopted a director district plan of representation whereby directors are elected from five (5) director districts (Districts A, B, C, D and E). However, all directors are voted upon at large by electors of the entire District.
No later than December 31 of every fourth year, the Board and/or its designee shall determine the population of each director district and, if not substantially equal, the Board shall revise the boundaries accordingly and adopt a revised version of Exhibit BBB-E. Boundaries may not be altered more than twice every four years.
In one biennial election, three directors shall be elected representing respectively director districts A, B and C; in the subsequent biennial election, two members shall be elected from director districts D and E.
The director election shall be conducted pursuant to an intergovernmental agreement between the District and the county clerk and recorder. The agreement shall allocate responsibilities between the county clerk and the District for the preparation and conduct of the election and shall be executed no later than seventy (70) days prior to the director election. The Board shall designate a staff member to serve as the designated election official to whom some election responsibilities may be delegated pursuant to the agreement.
Candidates shall be nominated for director in the manner prescribed by law. In accordance with state law, candidates for school district directors shall file a statutorily compliant nomination petition, a notarized acceptance of the nomination, and a written notice of intent to be a candidate affidavit with the District's designated election official by no later than sixty-seven (67) days prior to the director election.
Any person registered as a district elector may vote. Voter qualifications are the same as those for voting in general elections in the State of Colorado.
As a coordinated election, the director election shall be conducted by mail ballot with in-person voting available at voter service and polling centers, consistent with the requirements of Colorado law.
If sixty-three (63) days before the election, there is only one candidate for each position to be filled, by resolution, the Board may cancel the election and declare the candidates elected, pursuant to Colorado law.
