§ 51-35-329. Results of election

When the results of the election on the question of the issuance of such bonds shall have been canvassed by the county election commissioners and certified by them to the board of directors of the district, it shall be the duty of such board of directors to determine and adjudicate whether or not a majority of the qualified electors who voted in such election voted in favor of the issuance of such bonds. Unless a majority of the qualified electors who voted in such election shall have voted in favor of the issuance of such bonds, then such bonds shall not be issued. Should a majority of the qualified electors who vote in such election vote in favor of the issuance of such bonds, then the board of directors may issue such bonds, either in whole or in part, within five years from the date of such election or within five years after the final favorable termination of any litigation affecting the issuance of such bonds, as such board of directors shall deem best.
