(R207, S933)
AN ACT TO AMEND ACT 340 OF 1967, AS AMENDED, RELATING TO THE CREATION OF THE CHARLESTON COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT, SO AS TO PROVIDE FOR THE ELECTION OF SCHOOL TRUSTEES IN PARTISAN INSTEAD OF NONPARTISAN ELECTIONS BEGINNING IN 2002 AND FOR THE NOMINATION, TERMS, AND ELECTION PROCEDURES OF CANDIDATES FOR THESE OFFICES.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
Partisan elections
SECTION 1. Section 2 A. of Act 340 of 1967, as added by Act 936 of 1970, is amended to read:
"Section 2 A. The election of the members of the board of trustees must be by partisan election beginning in 2002. Successors to members of the board whose terms expire in 2002 and thereafter shall be elected on a partisan basis as provided herein for terms of four years each. Beginning in 2002, candidates may be nominated for office in the manner provided by law, and candidates must be elected at the general election and the primary election, respectively, according to the provisions of Title 7 of the 1976 Code, mutatis mutandis.
All other provisions of law relating to election of these school trustees including areas from which members must be elected by the qualified electors of the county shall continue to apply except for provisions of law relating to the nonpartisan election of such trustees. Present members of the board elected on a nonpartisan basis whose terms expire after 2002 shall continue to serve in office but shall declare their political affiliation by affidavit filed with the Charleston County Election Commission. Nothing herein prevents a current trustee elected on a nonpartisan basis from offering and being elected as a partisan candidate."
Time effective
SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
Ratified the 7th day of March, 2002.
