§18-9-2. Elections under this chapter; procedure.

Any and all elections authorized by this chapter for school purposes may, unless otherwise provided, be held separately or in connection with any general or special election.

The order shall be so published within fourteen consecutive days next preceding the day of election. All provisions of the law concerning general and special elections shall apply in such elections insofar as is practicable, except that in cases of special elections the board calling the election shall appoint necessary election officers and shall canvass the returns, and the secretary of the board shall procure and furnish to the election commissioners at each place of voting the ballots, poll books, tally sheets and other things needed. In calling elections, district and county boards of education shall follow the forms to be prescribed by the attorney general.
