§ 27014 Annexation Voter Approval

Key Takeaways

  • •If most people vote 'yes' on the annexation proposal, it passes.
  • •The rules and details in the proposal become official if it passes.
  • •The vote count must show more 'yes' votes than 'no' votes for it to pass.

Example

A small town votes on whether to join a nearby big city.

If more than half of the voters say 'yes' to joining the big city, the town becomes part of the big city, and all the rules about how it will work become official.
