Key Takeaways

  • •If people want to close down a special district (like a water or fire district), they can vote on it.
  • •The vote must happen within 60 days after the leaders decide to have the vote or after a petition is given to them.
  • •The vote is only for the people who live in that district.

Example

Imagine your neighborhood has a special fire department just for your area. Some people think it’s too expensive and want to close it down.

The leaders of the fire department or the people in the neighborhood can ask for a vote. This vote must happen within 60 days. Everyone in the neighborhood gets to vote on whether to keep the fire department or close it.
