Section 45-30-102 Election of superintendent. (a) The Legislature finds that Amendment
578 to the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, was approved by an overwhelming majority of the
voters of Franklin County and the Franklin County School District at the election held for
that purpose. The Legislature further finds and declares that subsection (b) of Amendment
578 was intended to require approval of a majority of those qualified electors of the political
subdivisions voting at the constitutional amendment election and was not intended to require
approval by a majority of the registered voters in the respective political subdivisions.

578, the Legislature desires to provide further for the nomination of the Franklin County
Superintendent of Education. (b) Candidates for election to the office of the...
