Sec. 233.012. EFFECT OF VOID ELECTION. (a) The effect of a void election with respect to a restriction on the authority to order another election or on the time interval between elections of the same or similar nature is the same as if the election had not been held.
(b) If the authorization for ordering the election that was declared void was conditioned on its being ordered or held before a specified date and that condition was satisfied with respect to the void election, the condition is also satisfied if another election is ordered for a date not later than the 120th day after the date the judgment declaring the contested election void becomes final or the first day on which the election may lawfully be held, whichever is later.
