§ 37-45-150 — Election procedure - ballot

(1) Any election held for the
purpose of submitting the proposition of dissolution of a district may be held
separately or may be consolidated or held concurrently with any other election
authorized by law. The election shall be conducted by the secretary of the board of
directors of such district under the supervision of the court, and the court shall fix
the manner of holding the same and shall also fix the compensation to be paid the
officers of the election and shall designate the precincts and polling places. The
court shall also appoint for each polling place and for each precinct from the
electors thereof the officers of such election, which officers shall consist of three
judges, one of whom shall act as clerk, who shall constitute a board of election for
each polling place.

(2) The description of precincts may be made by reference to any order of
the board of county commissioners of the county in which the district or any part
thereof is situated or by reference to any previous order or resolution of the board
or by detailed description of such precincts. Precincts established by the boards of
the various counties may be consolidated for special elections held under this
article. In the event any such election is called to be held concurrently with any
other election or is consolidated therewith, the court order need not designate
precincts or polling places or the names of officers of election but shall contain a
reference to the act or order calling such other election and fixing the precincts
and polling places and appointing election officers therefrom. The election shall be
conducted in accordance with the provisions of section 37-45-141.

(3) The results of such election shall be certified promptly by the secretary
of the board of directors to the court. It is the duty of the secretary of the board of
directors of the district to prepare ballots to be used at the election on which shall
be inscribed the words For Dissolution and Against Dissolution. The costs of the
election and ballots shall be paid by the district under the supervision of the court,
and the district shall be authorized, under the supervision of the court, to borrow
funds for this purpose. Irrespective of any other provision of this article, the district
shall not be required or authorized to hold any election on the proposition of such
borrowing.
