§6-16-6 Voter eligibility.

6-16-6. Voter eligibility. Any person who is registered to vote and resides in the proposed district may vote in the elections provided for in § 6-16-5. However, the qualifications of a voter for irrigation district elections are as provided in chapter 46A-4, and the qualifications of a voter for water project district elections are as provided in §§ 46A-18-2.1 and 46A-18-2.2. Absentee voting is allowed pursuant to chapter 12-19 for the election on the question of formation of the special district or any other question to be voted on by the eligible voters of the district. If the district to be formed is a road district that contains no registered voters, voter eligibility is based solely on landowners. For the purpose of this section, a person resides in a proposed district if the person actually lives in the proposed district for at least thirty days in the last year.
