more separate drainage districts or those counties availing themselves of the
provisions of KRS 267.390(3)(b) and 267.490 as provided in KRS 267.495, the
county judge/executive shall annually call an election in each district, to be held
in the courthouse at the county seat on some day in May designated by him. At
this election the taxpayers of each district shall elect a director to represent the
district on the board of drainage commissioners. The county judge/executive
shall preside at the election of each district, which shall be by viva voce vote of
each member present at the hour designated by the county judge/executive.
The districts of the county shall be numbered by the county judge/executive,
and the elections shall take place in the numerical order of the districts. If any
district is not represented at the election, the county judge/executive shall
appoint a taxpayer of that district as director to represent the district. The
county judge/executive shall fill all vacancies by appointment. The call for
election shall be made at least ten (10) days before the election by posting
notice at the courthouse door and by publication pursuant to KRS Chapter 424.
If the county judge/executive fails to carry out any of the provisions of this
section, any five (5) taxpayers in any drainage district coming under the
provisions of this chapter may call an election, and shall upon the day of the
election designate one of their number to act in place of the county
judge/executive, with all the rights of the county judge/executive under this
section.
In counties having seventy-five (75) or more separate drainage districts or in
