AI Summary

  • Special districts divided into director districts may cancel elections for individual director districts when races are uncontested, rather than requiring cancellation of the entire district-wide election

  • Cancellation requires that all statutory conditions for uncontested elections are met and any ballot issues or questions have been withdrawn from that director district's ballot

  • "Director district" is defined as the area represented by one director within a special district that has adopted a resolution to divide into such districts under Section 32-1-902.7

  • Act takes effect 90 days after final adjournment of the general assembly, unless a referendum petition is filed, in which case it would require voter approval in November 2026

  • Applies to elections held on or after the effective date
