Elections
Voter and candidate information
The Germantown School District Board of Education consists of seven members elected at large to three-year terms. While candidates must run for a particular seat on the board, the at-large nature of the election means all registered voters of the entire school district can vote in each race. There was no primary election, and the general election was held on April 5, 2016. The board members elect a president, vice president, clerk and treasurer during an organizational meeting within 30 days of the fourth Monday in April.[2]
To be elected to the board, candidates must reside in the boundaries of the school district for 28 days prior to the filing of a "Declaration of Candidacy" form. Furthermore, at the time of taking office, each candidate must be a resident of the apportioned area he or she is elected to represent.[3] Candidates must also be 18 years old and citizens of the United States. Unless pardoned, those who have been convicted of a felony are not eligible for election to office in Wisconsin.[4]
Candidates had until January 5, 2016, to collect between 100 and 200 signatures for their nomination papers. The signatures had to come from residents of the district where the candidate sought election, but the petition circulators were not required to reside in the district or municipality. Circulators were required to be U.S. citizens and 18 years or older.[5]
