If the corporate authority’s last best offer is not selected by the arbitration board, that party may submit the offers which the parties submitted to the arbitration board to the voters of the Fire Protection District for their selection by requesting a special election for that purpose. The request for an election must be filed with the Clerk of the Board of Directors for the Fire Protection District within ten (10) days of the date of the written decision of the arbitration board.

Upon receiving a request for an election pursuant to the provision of this section, the District Clerk shall notify the governing body of the Fire Protection District of the request. Within ten (10) days of such notification the governing body shall call for a special election. The election shall be governed by the state laws on Fire Protection District elections and the election shall be held as nearly as may be in conformity with the state law provisions governing bond elections for the Fire Protection District; provided, no informalities in conducting such election shall invalidate the same if the election shall have been otherwise fairly conducted.
