SB62 would amend the Alabama Constitution so Shelby County Board of Education members and the county superintendent are elected by voters who live outside cities in Shelby County that have their own separate boards of education.
It changes who is eligible to vote for Shelby County's Board of Education and the county superintendent, limiting the electorate to qualified electors residing outside the corporate limits of cities within the county that have a separate city board of education. Voters living inside those cities would not vote for these county offices under this amendment. Election officials would conduct these elections according to the amendment, and the change applies only to Shelby County.
