277.5 OBJECTIONS TO NOMINATIONS.
Objections to the legal sufficiency of a nomination petition or to
the eligibility of a candidate may be filed by any person who would
have the right to vote for a candidate for the office in question.
The objection must be filed with the secretary of the school board at
least thirty-five days before the day of the school election. When
objections are filed notice shall forthwith be given to the candidate
affected, addressed to the candidate's place of residence as given on
the candidate's affidavit, stating that objections have been made to
the legal sufficiency of the petition or to the eligibility of the
candidate, and also stating the time and place the objections will be
considered.
Objections shall be considered not later than two working days
following the receipt of the objections by the president of the
school board, the secretary of the school board, and one additional
member of the school board chosen by ballot. If objections have been
filed to the nominations of either of those school officials, that
official shall not pass on the objection. The official's place shall
be filled by a member of the school board against whom no objection
exists. The replacement shall be chosen by ballot. Section History: Recent Form
