TOPEKA — A Republican Kansas House leader says lawmakers could consider moving municipal and school board elections to November. Elections committee chair Scott Schwab, R-Olathe, said House Republicans are interested in the move because local elections typically have a low turnout. The Kansas Senate has shown little interest in the subject but that could change, as the 40-member Senate opens the 2013 session with 16 new members, Schwab said. Municipal general elections are usually held the first Tuesday in April in odd-numbered years. He said one proposal is to move local general elections to the first Tuesday in November in odd-numbered years.
