(1) On any question which is required by law to be submitted to qualified taxpaying

deposited in a separate ballot box reserved for that purpose. If the question is
submitted on voting machines, provision shall be made to assure that only
registered taxpaying electors are permitted to vote on such question. If the
question is to be submitted in precincts using an electronic voting system, provision
shall be made to assure that only registered taxpaying electors are permitted to

(2) The governing body, in its discretion, may require each registered
taxpaying elector desiring to vote on a question which is submitted to qualified
taxpaying electors only to sign a written oath that he has, during the twelve months
next preceding the election, paid an ad valorem tax upon property situated within
the municipality and owned by said person. If said elector is unable to write, he may
request assistance from one of the judges of election, and such judge shall sign and
witness said elector's mark.
