72-18-36. Election resolution.

The board shall call any election by resolution adopted at least sixty days before the election. The resolution shall recite the objects and purposes of the election, the date on which the election shall be held and the form of the ballot. In the case of any election not held concurrently with a primary or general election, the board shall provide in the election resolution or by supplemental resolution for the appointment of sufficient judges and clerks of the election who shall be qualified registered electors of the district and shall set their compensation. In a special election, the election resolution shall also designate the 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 district or any part thereof is situated, by reference to any previous order or by other instrument of such governing body, by detailed description of the precincts or by other sufficient description. Precincts established by a 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 is held concurrently with a primary or general election under the laws of the state, the judges of election for the election shall be designated as the judges of election held pursuant to the Flood Control District Act, and they shall receive such additional compensation, if any, as the board shall set by the election resolution.
