Key Takeaways

•The notice must say where people can read the full agreement about joining the city.
•The city can either share the full agreement in the notice or just say where to find it.

Example

A small town wants to become part of a nearby big city.

The big city must put up a notice in the newspaper or online saying there will be a vote. The notice must tell people where they can go to read the full plan about how the town will join the city. If they don’t do this, the vote might not be fair or legal.
