Section § 76042
This section explains how an election to dissolve a district should be organized and carried out. It states that the process will follow the same procedures as those used in forming the district. The key difference is that the ballots will have options for voters to choose 'Dissolution of district—Yes' or 'Dissolution of district—No.'
The election shall be noticed, conducted, and the returns thereof made and canvassed, in the same manner as is provided for the formation election except that the ballots to be used at the election shall contain the words, “Dissolution of district—Yes,” or “Dissolution of district—No,” or words equivalent thereto.
