Such elections shall be held, as far as is practicable, in the same manner as elections are held in county bond elections. In conducting such elections, the flood and drainage control district shall be divided into election districts in accordance with the then existing election districts created under the provisions of Section 23-5-9 of the Mississippi Code of 1972; and there shall be one voting place in each election district, which voting place shall be within such election district and within such flood and drainage control district. The election commissioners shall furnish at each voting place a list of the qualified electors residing in the flood and drainage control district who are also qualified electors in such voting district. At such election, all qualified electors residing in said district may vote, the ballots used at such election shall have printed thereon a brief statement of the amount and purpose of the proposed bond issue and the words "FOR THE BOND ISSUE" and "AGAINST THE BOND ISSUE", and the voter shall vote by placing a cross (x) or check mark (Π) opposite his choice on the proposition.
