From the effective date of this article, any political party may nominate
as candidates for election to the Board of Education a number of candidates
equal to the number of members of said Board to be elected in the election
for which nominations are being made.
From the effective date of this article, any elector of the Town may
vote for as many candidates as there are members of said Board to be elected
in the election at which such vote is being cast.
Provided, however, that not more than one-half of the members of said
Board declared elected 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 of
the members of said Board declared elected at such election 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 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 receive 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 the same political party,
sufficient in number to fill the remaining offices, shall be elected.
This article shall take effect for all elections to the Board of Education
after the election at which it is approved by the voters of the Town of Montville.
