registered electors residing within the district or proposed district
at the time of their election and shall be elected by the qualified
electors of the district. A majority of the seats on the board shall
be designated for veterans, as defined in Section 940.  Any board
seat that is so designated, but is not currently filled by a
qualifying individual, shall be filled by a qualified individual at
the next election at which that seat is to be filled.  Members shall
serve without compensation, but shall be entitled to actual and
necessary expenses incurred in the performance of duties.
