This law section explains that when a proposed district is divided into five parts, the local governing body, called the board of supervisors, must set up an election.

When a district formation election is called, the legislative body responsible must notify the local agency formation commission's executive officer in the relevant county within five days. This notification, sent by registered mail, includes details about the proposed district, such as its name and description.

The commission will approve or modify this analysis and ensure it reaches the officials conducting the election within five days.

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.

If there are multiple arguments for or against forming a new district filed in time, election officials will choose just one to share with voters. They prioritize arguments from the board of supervisors first, and then arguments from individual voters or citizen groups.

This law requires election officials to prepare and send a ballot pamphlet to voters whenever there's a vote on forming a new district.

Additionally, it must list the names of candidates running for director in each division.
