CA Water Code Section 35181

In order to facilitate an orderly transition to resident voter elections in June of even-numbered years and to preserve staggered terms, the terms of office of directors serving on the effective date of this section shall be modified in accordance with this section. At the 1980 general district election, two directors shall be elected to fill the positions of the two directors who were elected by landowner vote. At the 1982 general district election three directors shall be elected to fill the positions of the other three directors. In order to coincide with these election dates the terms of office of directors shall be extended or shortened as follows:

(a)

The terms of office of the two directors elected by landowner vote shall expire in June of 1980.

(b)

The terms of the two directors elected in November of 1979 shall expire in June of 1982.

(c)

The term of the director elected by resident vote in November of 1977 shall be extended to June of 1982. This extension is deemed to be a portion of the original term. Each director shall hold office until a successor qualifies.
