§ 1213 Bond Election Procedures

This law says that if a special vote is held to decide whether the district should sell bonds, that vote must be run just like a regular district election.

Key Takeaways

•A special election for bond issues must be announced and organized the same way as a normal district election.
•All steps—notice, calling the election, conducting the vote, and the rules that govern it—are identical to those for regular elections.
•The law only applies when the question is about issuing bonds.

Example

A town wants to borrow money by selling bonds to build a new park, so they put the question on a special election ballot.

The town has to give notice, set the date, run the voting process, and follow all the same rules they use for any regular town election.

If the question whether bonds of the district are to be issued is submitted at a special election, such election shall be noticed, called, conducted, governed, and regulated, in the same manner prescribed for the general district election. (Enacted by Stats. 1935, Ch. 389.)
