Indiana § 20-23-6-13

• Jurisdiction: Indiana
• Title 20: EDUCATION
• Art. 23: ORGANIZATION OF SCHOOL CORPORATIONS
• Ch. 6: Consolidation of School Corporations

Text

If the term "majority" is used in connection
with any law providing for the submission to an electorate of the
question of the consolidation of two (2) or more school corporations,
in all laws enacted before March 13, 1959, concerning school
consolidation, and in particular IC 20-23-6 and IC 20-23-7, the term
means the greater number of votes cast and counted either for or
against the proposition of consolidation. Any additions to the certificate
of the votes cast, other than the number of votes cast for and against the
proposition of consolidation, shall be considered as surplusage and of
no effect, and the intention of IC 20-23-6 and of IC 20-23-7 shall be so
interpreted.
