Sec. 13. If the term "majority" is used in connection with any law providing for the submission to an electorate of the question of the consolidation of two (2) or more school corporations, in all laws enacted before March 13, 1959, concerning school consolidation, and in particular IC 20-23-6 and IC 20-23-7, the term means the greater number of votes cast and counted either for or against the proposition of consolidation. Any additions to the certificate of the votes cast, other than the number of votes cast for and against the proposition of consolidation, shall be considered as surplusage and of no effect, and the intention of IC 20-23-6 and of IC 20-23-7 shall be so interpreted.
