History: 1953 Comp., § 75-32-30, enacted by Laws 1955, ch. 281, § 6; 1993, ch. 285, § 3; 2011, ch. 72, § 3.
ANNOTATIONSThe 2011 amendment, effective June 17, 2011, eliminated the requirement that the secretary send landowners a statement of the irrigable land owned by the landowner in the each voting precinct and a statement of the land in each election precinct, and authorized absentee voting for directors.
The 1993 amendment, effective July 1, 1993, designated the former first and second paragraphs as Subsections A and B and deleted the former third paragraph, which required electors to sign a statement showing his or her qualifications; in Subsection A, deleted the former next-to-last sentence, which read: "Such statements shall be delivered to the judges of election of the proper election precinct when the elector casts his ballot", and substituted "on the Friday" for "of the Saturday" in the last sentence; and made various stylistic changes throughout the section.
