§ 29902 County Bond Election Authorization

• •The county leaders must ask voters if they can issue bonds (borrow money).
• •Voters decide this in the next big election or a special election just for this.
• •This rule was added a long time ago, in 1947.

Your county wants to build a new school but needs money.

The county leaders can't just borrow the money—they have to ask voters first. They’ll put it on the ballot in the next election, and if most voters say yes, they can borrow the money.
