for in section 34-106(1), Idaho Code, in the second calendar year after the
organization of any district, and every second year thereafter an election
shall be held, which shall be known as the biennial election of the district.
    At the first biennial election in any district hereafter organized, and
each sixth year thereafter, there shall be elected by the qualified electors
of the district, one (1) member of the board to serve for a term of six (6)
years; at the second biennial election and each sixth year thereafter, there
shall be elected two (2) members of the board to serve for terms of six (6)
years, and at the third biennial election, and each sixth year thereafter,
there shall be elected two (2) members of the board to serve for terms of six
(6) years. Provided, a member of the board once in office shall serve until
his successor is elected, qualified and takes office.
    Not later than 5:00 p.m. on the sixth Friday before any such election,
nominations may be filed with the secretary of the board and if a nominee does
not withdraw his name before the first publication of the notice of election,
his name shall be placed on the ballot. The board shall provide for holding
such election and shall appoint judges to conduct it. The secretary of the
district shall give notice of election by publication, and shall arrange such
other details in connection therewith as the board may direct. Adequate
polling places shall be provided throughout the district boundaries for all
elections. The returns of the election shall be certified to and shall be
canvassed and declared by the board. The candidate or candidates, according to
the number of directors to be elected, receiving the most votes, shall be
elected. Any new member of the board shall qualify in the same manner as
members of the first board qualify.
    In any election for director, if after the deadline for filing a
declaration of intent as a write-in candidate, it appears that the number of
qualified candidates who have been nominated is equal to the number of
directors to be elected, it shall not be necessary for the candidates to stand
for election, and the board shall declare such candidates elected as
directors, and the secretary of the board shall immediately make and deliver
to such persons certificates of election signed by him and bearing the seal of
the district.
