§ 3-5-3-12 — Special election; payment of costs

(a) This section applies to a special election
that is conducted:
(1) on the same date as another election; and
(2) in precincts in which the other election is not conducted on
that date.
(b) This section does not apply to a special election conducted in a
county at the same time as:
(1) a primary election conducted in a general election year; or
(2) a general election.
(c) If a statute requires that a political subdivision pay all costs of
conducting a special election, then the political subdivision is required
to pay only the costs incurred for conducting the special election in the
precincts in which the other election is not conducted on that date. The
cost incurred by the political subdivision shall be determined based on
the ratio that the number of voters who cast a ballot in the precincts in
which the other election is not conducted bears to the total number of
voters who cast a ballot in all elections conducted within the county on
that date.
