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. However, because
the Legislature is mindful that opponents to Amendment 578 may attempt to challenge Amendment
578 based on an unreasonable interpretation of subsection (b) of Amendment 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...
