Senate Passes House Bill 2104 Despite Opposition
Senate approval stood 22 to 13 with Democrats Marci Francisco of Lawrence and Tom Holland of Baldwin City voting against the measure. Proponents argue it could lift turnout in local races where participation is often under 20 percent, noting 16 percent turnout in Douglas County in recent April elections. Critics warn the bill could disrupt school board elections by altering when new officials take office.
