district, shall, on or before the ninetieth day before the day of the election at

or not the district shall be dissolved. The board of elections of each of such counties shall place such question on the questions

and issues ballot, to be voted at such election by the electors of the county residing

within the territorial boundaries of the district, by placing on such ballot the words

“For continuing the existence of (name of the district to be here inserted)” and “Against

continuing the existence of (name of the district to be here inserted),” with a square

before each proposition and a direction to record the vote in the square before one

the results of such election. If a majority of the electors voting upon the proposition vote against continuing

the existence of the district, the district shall be dissolved as of the thirty-first

day of December immediately thereafter. If a majority of the electors voting upon the proposition vote for continuing the

existence of the district, no further referendum shall be held on the same proposition

for a period of three years.
