§ 1211 District Bond Election Authority

• •The board can call a bond vote.
• •A petition from 8% of registered electors forces the vote.
• •Voters decide if bonds can be sold for the stated purpose.

The town wants to build a new library and needs extra money, so the board puts the question on the ballot asking residents if they approve selling bonds to pay for it.

If enough residents sign a petition (8% of registered voters), the board must hold an election where voters decide if the bonds can be issued for the library project.
