Elections
Voter and candidate information
The Shenendehowa Central Board of Education consists of seven members elected at-large to three-year terms on a staggered basis every year in May. There was no primary election, and the general election was held on May 17, 2016. Because the election was held at-large, every qualified voter in the school district was able to vote for both seats. The three candidates who received the most votes in the election were elected to the board.[2]
School board candidates must be at least 18 years old and must be qualified voters who have lived in the district for at least one full, uninterrupted year prior to the election. They must also be able to read and write. School board candidates cannot reside in the same household of a current board member, hold another incompatible office, or have been removed from another school board office within a year of the election.[3] To get on the ballot, candidates had to file nominating petitions with the district clerk by April 18, 2016.[4][5]
