This law requires that a special election is organized through an ordinance by each board of supervisors. The ordinance must outline why the election is being held, when it will take place, the boundaries of voting areas, where people will vote (polling places), and who will run the election at each location. The election must be scheduled for a date at least 74 days after the ordinance is published.

When an election is called in an unincorporated area, the announcement must be published according to specific guidelines. If there's no local newspaper, the notice should appear in a newspaper from elsewhere in the county that is most likely to inform voters. Additionally, election notices must be visibly posted in at least two public spots in each voting area for at least 10 days before the election.

This law requires that within five days of calling a district formation election, the legislative body must send a written notification to the executive officer of the local agency formation commission via registered mail. This notification includes details about the proposed district.

Then, the executive officer has five days to prepare an impartial analysis of the proposed district formation, which must also include its boundaries. The analysis cannot be longer than 500 words.

The local agency formation commission will then have another five days to review, approve, or modify this analysis before passing it on to the officials responsible for conducting the election.

This law allows the board of supervisors, authorized members, individual voters, or associations of citizens to submit written arguments for or against forming a new district. These arguments must be concise, no longer than 300 words, and submitted at least 54 days before the election deciding on the district's formation.

This law section explains what happens if multiple arguments for or against a proposed district formation are submitted to election officials in California. If that occurs, the officials will choose just one argument from each side to be printed and shared with voters. The selection process favors arguments in a specific order: first, those from the board of supervisors or their authorized members; second, those from individual voters or bona fide citizen groups.

This law requires officials responsible for elections to prepare a ballot pamphlet for any proposition about forming a new district. The pamphlet must be mailed to each voter at least 10 days before the election. It should include the full text of the proposition, an impartial analysis from the local agency, arguments for the formation, and arguments against it. This pamphlet is considered official according to election laws.

This law explains how a board of supervisors should handle an election. It specifies that they must follow the general law processes for elections regarding how the election is conducted, how votes are counted, and how results are announced. For everything else, they must follow the rules for special elections in the county.

This law section explains how a proposition to organize a public utility district is presented on a ballot during an election. Specifically, voters will be asked if they want a certain public utility district to be established under the Public Utilities Code. The ballot will have options to vote 'Yes' or 'No' for this proposition.

This law requires the chairman of the board of supervisors in each county where an election has been held to create a certificate within five days of the election results being declared. The certificate must accurately describe the election proposition, confirm its submission to the voters, and state the election outcome. This certificate must be made in duplicate, so there are two copies. These copies must then be promptly delivered to the board of supervisors of the county where most of the proposed district's population lives or to the board's clerk.
