This law says that once the board of supervisors figures out the boundaries for a new district, they have to split the district into either three, five, or seven parts, depending on what was asked for in the petition to create the district. These parts should all be about the same size and need to be numbered in order.

This law explains that each division within a district elects one director. To be eligible for election, the director must live in the division they want to represent, meet voting requirements of the district, and reside in the county or one of the counties where the district is located.

Once the area is divided into parts for a new district, the local county board must organize an election. This election will let the people in the proposed district decide if they want to create the district and choose its initial board members.

An election to form a new entity must be held on the next scheduled election date that is at least 74 days after the petition to form has been filed.

This law requires the board of supervisors to divide a district into smaller sections called precincts and establish a polling place in each precinct. Every division of the district must have at least one precinct.

This law outlines who is responsible for organizing elections at each precinct. The board of supervisors must appoint one inspector, one judge, and two clerks for each precinct, and these people make up the board of election for that area. If any of these appointed officials are absent when polls open on election day, the voters present in the precinct can either form a new board or fill any vacant positions.

This law section states that the inspector is in charge of the election board and can appoint judges or clerks if needed during the election. The chairperson or other board members can also give and certify oaths during the election process.

This law requires that when a district is forming, an election must be announced to the public. The notice should be published in a daily or weekly newspaper in each county where the district is located, if available. It must appear at least once a week for three weeks before the election. Additionally, notices must also be posted in three public places.

This law section outlines what should be included in the notice for a formation election of a new district. It specifies that the notice must include the district's proposed name and boundaries, election precincts and polling places, election officers, the election date, and polling hours. The polling hours must start by 8 a.m. and end by 7 p.m.

This law requires the board of supervisors to ensure that ballots are available for elections about forming a water conservation district. There is no specific ballot format needed, but it must include options to vote 'Yes' or 'No' on the formation of the water conservation district. The ballot should also list candidates for the director position, who have been nominated as detailed in another section.

If you want to nominate someone to be a director for a specific division, at least ten registered voters from that division must sign a petition. This petition must be submitted to the board of supervisors within 15 days after the notice for the election is first published.

Voters should mark their choice by writing, printing, or stamping a cross next to the words that represent their selection on the ballot.

This law states that on election ballots, there should be enough blank spaces for people to write in names for all director positions that need to be filled. If a voter's written-in name of a qualified individual occupies any of these spaces, it counts as a valid vote for that person.

This law section states that, unless specified differently in this chapter, the formation of an election must follow the standard rules and procedures used in general elections in California.

After a formation election concludes, the election officers must count the votes in public right away. They then have five days to report the election results to the board of supervisors.

This law section says that after the formation election is held, the board of supervisors must review and count the votes. They should do this on the first Monday after the election, if they are in session, or at their next meeting, whether it's a regular or special meeting.

If a vote to create a district fails, you can't propose or consider forming a district with any part of the same area for a year afterward.
