Current members
SECTION 3. The seven present members of the Board of Trustees of the Edgefield County School District each of whom currently resides in one of the seven single-member election districts established in SECTION 1 shall be deemed to be members of the board representing these districts until their current terms of office expire. When the terms of the present incumbent members of the board of trustees of the Edgefield County School District expire beginning in 1992, their successors must be elected for terms of four years in nonpartisan elections to be conducted at the same time as the general election of that year beginning in 1992 to be held in the manner provided in this act. These members of the board must continue to be residents and qualified electors of those single-member districts and shall be elected by all the qualified electors of the district. All members of the board shall serve until their successors are elected and qualify.

SECTION 4. When a vacancy on the board occurs for any reason other than expiration of a term, the successor to that member must be selected in the manner provided by this act. In the event of a vacancy on the board occurring for any reason other than expiration of a term, the board shall call a special election to fill the unexpired term, so long as the vacancy does not occur within ten months of a regular trustee election. In this case, the vacancy must be filled for the unexpired term or for a full term as appropriate at the next regular election.
Method of election
SECTION 5. All persons desiring to qualify as a candidate shall file written notice of candidacy with the county election commission in the manner provided by Section 7-13-352 of the 1976 Code. This notice of candidacy must be a sworn statement and must include the candidate's name, age, residence address, voting precinct, length of residence in the particular residence area of the candidate, and other information as the county election commission requires.
The county commissioners of election shall conduct and supervise the elections for members of the board in the manner governed by the election laws of this State, mutatis mutandis. The commissioners shall prepare the necessary ballots, appoint managers for the voting precincts, and do all things necessary to carry out the election, including the counting of ballots and declaring the results. The commissioners shall advertise the date of the election ninety days preceding the election in a newspaper of general circulation published in the district and shall publish a second notice thirty days before the election.
Results of the elections must be determined in accordance with the nonpartisan election and runoff method provided in Section 5-15-62 of the 1976 Code.
