§ 11-07-06 — Petitions - Signers required - Submission of question to voters

The board of county commissioners, upon receipt of a petition signed by at least ten percent
of the qualified electors of the county as determined by the number of votes cast for the office of
governor at the preceding general election, shall, in accordance with applicable provisions of
title 16.1, cause the question of whether commissioners shall be elected at large to be
submitted to the qualified electors of the county at the next succeeding primary or general
election. If approved by sixty percent of the qualified electors voting at such election, all county
commissioner districts in the county must be immediately dissolved, and thereafter as the term
of office of each member of the board of county commissioners expires, the office must be filled
by an election at large.
