This section outlines the qualifications needed to become a director of a water district. Generally, a director must be a voter, a landowner in the district, and live in the division they represent. There are exceptions for directors elected during a formation election who only need to be residents and voters in the proposed district at the start. In districts with 15 or fewer landowners, being a landowner alone can qualify one to be a director without needing to be a voter.

In districts that provide retail electricity, the director must be a voter and a resident. However, if a district has to submit an urban water management plan, a director does not need to be a landowner if they serve in a district without divisions or if their division supplies water as a public system. Directors appointed or elected before 2007 must meet the original qualifications until their term ends.

This law applies to the Pixley Irrigation District. It allows the district's board of directors to pass a resolution that lets someone who only owns land in the district, without meeting other usual criteria, become a director. However, registered voters in the district can request that all future directors must meet all standard requirements. If 25% of registered voters sign this request, then all future directors must meet those complete requirements.

This law section is about the Tulelake Irrigation District and sets rules for who can be on its board of directors. To be a director, a person must be a registered California voter, live in or near the district, and own land there or be a legal representative of a landowner.

The district's board can make a rule allowing such people to serve as directors, even if they don’t meet other usual requirements, unless enough district voters (25%) ask for stricter rules. If they do, the directors must meet the original requirements set out in another section of the law.

Also, legal representatives who want to be directors must prove they have the authority to act on behalf of landowners by submitting their authorization to the district.

This law is about the Hills Valley Irrigation District. It allows the district's board of directors to let someone be a director even if they only own land and don't meet the usual requirements. However, local voters can ask that future directors meet all the usual requirements if 25% of registered voters sign a written request. If this happens, any appointed or elected directors must follow all standard qualifications after the request is made.

This law is about the Stratford Irrigation District and the requirements for becoming a board director there. Normally, directors need to meet certain landownership and residency requirements as per Section 21100.

However, the board can make an exception, allowing someone who owns land in the district and lives in Kings County to be a director, even if they don't meet the usual requirements. But, if at least 25% of the district's registered voters request it, any new directors must follow the usual requirements of Section 21100.

This section deals with the governance rules for the Byron-Bethany Irrigation District. It allows the board of directors to let someone from Alameda, Contra Costa, or San Joaquin counties, who meets certain landownership criteria, become a director. Meanwhile, registered voters in the district can request that future directors meet the usual requirements if at least 25% of them sign the request. The board can also require directors to be elected by specific areas or divisions.

Before implementing these changes, the board must give 45 days' notice of a public hearing and provide extensive details in the notice, including information on how registered voters can express opposition. If 10% of voters protest, the board cannot adopt the resolution for at least four years. Also, any resolution regarding elections can't be adopted less than 180 days before a general district election.

This law states that the South Bay Irrigation District is exempt from the landownership requirements specified in another section of the law.

This law pertains specifically to the South Fork Irrigation District and outlines the criteria for who can serve as a director on its board. A director must be a registered voter in California, live within the district or nearby, and own property in the area or be a legal representative of the owner. While the board can allow a person to become a director under these rules, voters in the district can request that future directors meet additional requirements. If at least 25% of voters agree, these stricter rules must be applied.

Moreover, any legal representative wishing to serve as a director must provide official proof of their authority before candidacy or appointment.

This law section specifies when newly elected officers assume their positions. Generally, officers take office right after they qualify for the position. However, those elected in a general district election start their term at noon on the first Friday in December after the election.

Before the first Friday of December after the general district election, every elected officer must take the official oath and file it with the district's office. They also need to provide the necessary bond.

In California, after the first group of officers is elected, each subsequent elected official will serve a four-year term. They will stay in office until the next person is ready to take over.
