• •A county can start a retirement plan for its workers.
• •The plan can be approved in two ways: by most voters in an election or by a big vote from the county leaders.
• •If they use an election, more than half of the voters must say yes.
• •If they don’t use an election, at least four out of five county leaders must agree.

A county wants to create a retirement plan for its police officers and firefighters.

The county can either ask the voters in an election, where more than half must vote 'yes,' or the county leaders can vote on it themselves, with at least four out of five agreeing.
