There are a few things that could happen when there are fewer candidates than there are board of education seats available.

Write-in votes are accepted. The person with the highest number of write-in votes is offered the position as long as that person is a qualified candidate. If the person elected doesn't want to serve, the county superintendent will appoint someone.

If there is a tie among the write-in candidates, a special election is called among the write-in candidates.

If there are is a vacancy and no write-in candidates, the county superintendent will make an appointment to fill the vacancy.
