Election upon request of landowners; procedure generally

The commissioners of any such district may, and, upon written request of not less than ten (10) landowners thereof, shall, at any time, submit to the qualified electors thereof the question as to whether or not they desire their district to cooperate with any other district or districts named, in the operation and

maintenance of their respective systems under the provisions of this act. Such question may be submitted at any general district election, or at a special election duly called for the purpose, notice of which shall have been given as required by law in case of general elections in irrigation districts. In every case, the notice of election shall state briefly but clearly the question to be submitted, naming the district or districts with which it is proposed to cooperate. The vote shall be by ballot, and a majority of the votes cast shall determine the question. If more than two (2) districts are involved in the proposal, the electors shall in like manner determine the district or districts, if any, with which they desire their district to cooperate, in the event that they do not desire to cooperate with all the districts named in the proposal, or in the event that any district or districts named in the proposal should vote adversely thereto. All elections held hereunder shall be conducted in the same manner as general irrigation district elections are required by law to be conducted.
