Election on constitutional levy
Official statutory text
An election to authorize a levy under the provisions of the
preceding section may be called by the board of county
commissioners, in its official discretion. Such election may also
be called by initiative petition filed with the county clerk, signed
by sixteen percent (16%) of the legal voters of the county, such
percent to be based upon the total number of votes cast at the last
general election in the county for the state office receiving the
highest number of votes at such election in the county. Whenever
the election is called by either method, the board of county
commissioners shall fix the date for the election and shall cause to
be published in at least one issue each week, for four (4) weeks, of
a newspaper having general circulation in the county, a notice
stating that the election has been called, the date and purpose of
the election, and the number of mills on the dollar of assessed
valuation of the county to be voted upon; and the notice may contain
any other information believed appropriate by the board. The
election shall be conducted by the county election board, in the
same manner as elections to select county officers, and the cost of
holding the election shall be paid from county funds. The secretary
of the county election board shall certify the results of the
election to the board of county commissioners, and after receiving
such certification the board of county commissioners shall notify
the county excise board if the levy shall have been approved.
