§ 37-50-127 — Election resolution

(1) The board shall call any election by
resolution adopted at least thirty days before the election.

(2) The resolution shall state the objects and purposes of the election, the
date upon which such election shall be held, and the form of the ballot.

(3) In the case of an election not to be held concurrently with a primary or
general election, the board shall provide in the election resolution or by
supplemental resolution for the appointment of sufficient judges and clerks of the
election, who shall be electors of the district holding the debt election, and shall set
their compensation. The election resolution or a supplemental resolution shall
designate the precincts and polling places, but a supplemental resolution may
modify the description of precincts and polling places without repeating the
description in full. The description of precincts may be made by reference to any
order of the governing body of any county, municipality, or other political
subdivision in which the district or any part thereof is situated, by reference to any
previous order or other instrument of the governing body, by detailed description of
the precincts, or by other sufficient description.

(4) Precincts established by the governing body may be consolidated in the
election resolution by the board in a sufficient number that it deems expedient for
the convenience of the electors for any election not to be held concurrently with a
primary or general election.

(5) If the election is held concurrently with a primary or general election held
under the laws of this state, the judges of election for the primary or general
election shall be designated as the judges of the election for the election held
pursuant to this article, and they shall receive such additional compensation, if any,
as the board shall set by the election resolution.

(6) If there is a direct conflict between this section and the provisions
governing elections in section 20 of article X of the state constitution, section 20 of
article X of the state constitution shall prevail.
