Section 1. In 1962 in Montgomery County there shall be nominated and elected respectively one member of the board of education from each of the five school districts of Montgomery County as follows: the Districts of Star, Biscoe, Candor, Mt. Gilead and Troy. There shall be placed on each ballot opposite the name of each candidate or nominee, as the case may be, the name of the district in which he resides. The candidates in any primary and the nominees in the general election for said board shall be voted on by the qualified voters of Montgomery County at large.

Sec. 2. The three members who are elected, and who receive the highest number of votes at the general election in November, 1962, shall hold office for terms of four years and until their successors are elected and qualified. In November, 1966, and quadriennially thereafter, successors from the three districts they represent shall be elected for terms of four years and shall represent the same three districts.

The other two members elected in 1962 shall serve for terms of two years each and until their successors are elected and qualified. In 1964, and quadriennially thereafter, successors from the two districts they represent shall be elected for terms of four years and shall represent the same two districts.

Sec. 3. Any vacancies occurring on said board of education by death, resignation, or otherwise, shall be filled as is now provided by State law for the filling of vacancies in county boards of education, but such person appointed to fill the vacancy shall be from the same district and from the same political party as the person whose death, resignation or removal created the vacancy on the board. If there shall be no candidate filing for election from any one of the said districts, this shall constitute a vacancy which shall be filled as above provided.

Sec. 4. All laws and clauses of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

Sec. 5. This Act shall be in full force and effect from and after its ratification.
