No ordinance provided for in R.S. 33:2951 and R.S. 33:2952 shall take effect until it has been approved by a majority of the voters on whose property the tax is proposed to be levied, at an election to be held specially for that purpose. The police jury or municipal corporation shall prescribe the manner of holding the election, and shall cause to be furnished to the commissioners a certified list of the authorized voters.
