Education elections to coincide with November general elections

Detroit Free Press:

Michigan's school board elections will be held in November of even-numbered years through legislation signed by Gov. Rick Snyder.

The legislation that the Republican governor signed today will require school board and intermediate school district elections to be held at the same time as November general elections.

Supporters of the legislation say it will ensure that school board elections are held when voter turnout is highest. Supporters say it also should help consolidate elections and save money in some locations.
