CHAPTER 21 - FINANCIAL MATTERS GENERALLY
Section 5-21-310. Ballots.
The form of ballot shall seek an answer to the question or questions as to whether the municipal council of the municipality shall be empowered to issue general obligation bonds of such municipality for the purpose specified in the petition. The question thus presented shall be followed with the words "YES" and "NO" and instructions shall appear on such ballot that those who wish the issuance of bonds shall strike through the word "NO" while those who oppose the issuance of bonds shall strike through the word "YES." As many questions may be submitted on a single ballot as there are purposes for which bonds are sought to be issued in the petition, but each question shall be separately stated, except that when bonds are sought to be issued for water and sewer purposes those questions may be combined. If more than one question appears on the ballot, the instructions shall make it clear to all voters that they may vote for one or more proposals and against the others or that they may vote for one or more proposals and not vote for or against the others.
