Jacksonville Annexation & Conforming Changes

This bill changes how school board members are elected in Columbus, Gaston, and Johnston counties by switching from nonpartisan elections to partisan elections (where candidates run with party labels). Board members will continue to be elected from residency districts, but starting in 2026, candidates will be nominated and elected through the same partisan process used for other county offices.
