SB121 would extend the terms of Scottsboro's mayor, city council, and school board and move their election dates to August, with runoffs if no candidate wins a majority.
The bill applies only to Scottsboro and extends the mayor's and city council terms by one year, moving the next elections to the fourth Tuesday in August 2025 and then every four years. It also extends the terms of council seats elected in 2022 to expire in 2027, with elections in August 2027 and every four years thereafter. For the Scottsboro Board of Education, 2022 seats would be extended to 2029 with elections in August 2029 and every six years; seats due to expire in 2024 or 2026 would instead expire in 2025 or 2027, with elections then on the fourth Tuesday in August in those years and every six years thereafter. If no candidate wins a majority, a runoff election would be held on the fourth Tuesday following the regular election.
