School District elections are non-partisan, governed by the general election laws of the State, and include the election of Board of Education members, various public policy propositions, and advisory questions. Board of Education members are elected at the consolidated election held on the first Tuesday in April in odd-numbered years.  If, however, that date conflicts with the celebration of Passover, the consolidated election is postponed to the first Tuesday following the last day of Passover.  The canvass of votes is conducted by the election authority within 21 days after the election.

The Board of Education’s election duties are:

1. The Board, by proper resolution, may place public policy propositions on the ballot. 
2. The Board President, Secretary, and the member with the longest continuous service, whose nominating petition is not being challenged, compose the Education Officers Electoral Board to hear and rule on objections to candidate nominating petitions and voter petitions. 
3. The Board Secretary or clerk serves as the local election official, assisted by designated representatives appointed by the Board.
