72-17-29. Election resolution.

The board shall call any election by resolution adopted at least sixty days prior to the election. Such resolution shall recite the objects and purposes of the election, the date upon which such election shall be held and the form of the ballot. In the case of any election not to be held concurrently with a primary or general election, the board shall provide in said election resolution or by supplemental resolution for the appointment of sufficient judges and clerks of the election, who shall be qualified electors of the authority, and in such event shall set their compensation. The election resolution shall also then designate the precints [precincts] and polling places. The description of precincts may be made by reference to any order of the governing body of any county, municipality, or other public body in which the authority or any part thereof is situated, or by reference to any previous order or by other instrument of such a governing body, or by detailed description of such precincts, or by other sufficient description. Precincts established by any such governing body may be consolidated in the election resolution by the board for any election not to be held concurrently with a primary or general election. If the election shall be held concurrently with a primary or general election held under the laws of the state, the judges of election for such primary or general election shall be designated as the judges of election for the election held pursuant to this act [72-17-1 through 72-17-103 NMSA 1978], and they shall receive such additional compensation, if any, as the board shall set by the election resolution.
