1302
. (a) Except as provided in subdivision (b), the regular
election to select governing board members in any school district,
community college district, or county board of education shall be
held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November of each
odd-numbered year.
(b) (1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, and except as
provided in Section 1302.5, after the initial election of governing
board members in any school district, community college district, or
of members of a county board of education, the election of governing
board members for the district or of members of the county board of
education may be established, upon the adoption of an appropriate
resolution by the governing board or the county board of education,
respectively, to regularly occur on the same day as the statewide
direct primary election, the statewide general election, or the
general municipal election as set forth in Section 1301. The
resolution shall become operative upon approval by the board of
supervisors pursuant to Section 10404.5 or 10405.7, as applicable. If
a school district, community college district, or county board of
education is located in more than one county, the district may not

located denies the request for consolidation.

to Section 10404.5 or 10405.7, as applicable, the election of the
governing board members of the school district or community college
district or of members of the county board of education shall be
conducted on the date specified by the board of supervisors, in
accordance with paragraph (1), unless the approval is later rescinded
by the board of supervisors.
(3) In the event of consolidation, the election of governing board
members of the school district or community college district or of
members of the county board of education shall be conducted in
accordance with all applicable procedural requirements of the
Elections Code pertaining to that primary, general, or municipal
election, and shall thereafter occur in consolidation with that
election.
(4) If the date of an election is changed pursuant to this
section, at least one election shall be held before the resolution,
as approved by the board of supervisors, may be subsequently repealed
or amended.
