School Board Elections

• School board elections are held at the consolidated election on the first Tuesday in April of each odd-numbered year. (If that date conflicts with Passover, the election moves to the second Tuesday.) The terms of board members are staggered so there are three or four seats contested at each biennial election. Election packets may be obtained from the Union County Clerk's Office in Jonesboro.
