• Jurisdiction: Wyoming
• Title 22: Elections
• Ch. 29: SPECIAL DISTRICT ELECTIONS ACT
• Art. 3: ENLARGEMENT, CONSOLIDATION, MERGER

Text

(a) The elections effecting enlargement, merger or
consolidation shall be governed by the following specific rules:
(i) For enlargement elections, the voters of both the
existing district and the area to be added shall be entitled to
vote;
(ii) For merger and consolidation elections, the
voters of all the affected districts shall be entitled to vote;
(iii) If a majority of those voting in each district
on the proposition favor the proposition, then it shall pass;
(iv) For enlargement elections, if the voters of the
existing district have approved by election a mill levy to
finance the operation of the district, then the voters of the
area to be added shall also be required at the enlargement
election to approve the same mill levy. If a majority of the
voters in the area to be added voting on the proposition fails
to approve the mill levy, then the enlargement, whether or not
approved under paragraph (iii) of this subsection, shall fail.
This paragraph shall not apply to an enlargement in which no
election is required under W.S. 22-29-301(a);
(v) For merger and consolidation elections, if the
voters of an existing district have approved by election a mill
levy to finance the operations of the district and the other
district has no mill levy or a lower mill levy, the voters of
that other district shall also be required at the merger or
consolidation election to approve a mill levy at the same level
as the existing district or increase an existing mill levy to
the same level as the existing district. If a majority of the
voters in the other district voting on the proposition fails to
approve or increase the mill levy as required, then the merger
or consolidation, whether or not approved under paragraph (iii)
of this subsection, shall fail.
