 (a) Unless otherwise provided by special act or charter provision, including the charter provisions described in subsection (b) of this section, when the number of members to be elected to the board of education for the same term at any election is even, no elector shall vote for more than half that number and when the number of members to be elected to the board of education for the same term at any election is odd, no elector shall vote for more than a bare majority of that number.(b) Any charter which (1) provides for the election of the members of a board of education at one town election for the same term, (2) incorporates section 9-167a by reference to determine minority representation for such board of education and (3) makes no reference to the number of candidates for which an elector may vote for such board of education shall be deemed to have set the number of candidates an elector may vote for and the number of candidates who may be endorsed by any political party at the maximum levels specified in the table contained in subdivision (1) of subsection (a) of section 9-167a.(1949 Rev., S. 1500; 1953, S. 685d; P.A. 79-552; P.A. 86-333, S. 29, 32; P.A. 87-534, S. 1, 2.)History: P.A. 79-552 added “unless otherwise provided by special act or charter provision”; P.A. 86-333 made minor change in wording; P.A. 87-534 added new Subsec.

2020 Connecticut General Statutes|Title 9 - Elections|Chapter 146 - Elections|Section 9-204a - Nomination and voting for full number of board members to be elected authorized.

 Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 9-204 and 9-414 and of any special act or town charter, any town may, by charter, or by referendum vote taken at any regular election in such town pursuant to either a vote of its legislative body or a petition signed by at least five per cent of the electors of such town as established by the last-preceding registry list of such town, authorize the nomination by any political party of candidates for election as members of the board of education of such town equal to the number of members of said board to be elected at such election, and authorize the electors of such town to vote for the full number of such members to be elected, provided not more than one-half of the members of said board declared elected to the same term at such election shall be of the same political party if the number to be elected is even and not more than a bare majority thereof shall be members of the same political party if the number to be elected is odd. If the number of candidates, sufficient to fill the offices voted on, receiving the highest number of votes at any such election are of the same political party, those persons sufficient to fill one-half or a bare majority of such offices, as the case may be, who received the highest number of votes among such candidates shall be declared elected and those persons receiving the next highest number of votes who do not belong to such political party, sufficient in number to fill the remaining offices, shall be declared elected.(P.A. 73-266, S. 1, 2; P.A. 75-532, S. 1, 2.)History: P.A. 75-532 added “to the same term” to provision that “not more than one-half of the members of said board declared elected ... at such election shall be of the same political party”.Because threshold requirements for statute's applicability were not met, the operative provisions ensuring minority representation never came into play. 182 C. 111.

The next highest ranking candidates, not from such political party, shall be elected, up to the number of places to be filled in such election.
