Referendum Timing

Summary

The bill changes the timing of a wide range of referenda—including municipal consolidations, local option sales taxes, tax rescissions, and school‑district tax questions—so they must occur on the federal election day in even-numbered years. It applies to counties, municipalities, special districts, and school districts, requiring election commissions to conduct and certify the votes on that date. Aligning these votes with general elections is intended to standardize the process and potentially boost voter participation.
