    If the charter commission shall recommend that the question of adopting one  of the optional plans of government authorized by this act shall be submitted  to the voters of the municipality, it shall be the duty of the municipal clerk  to cause the question of adoption or rejection to be placed upon the ballot at  such time as the commission shall in its report specify. The commission may  cause the question to be submitted to the people at the next general or regular  municipal election, occurring not less than 60 days following the filing of a  copy of the commission's report with the clerk, or at a special election  occurring not less than 60 days or more than 120 days after the filing of the  report, at such time as the commission's report shall direct.  At such election  the question of adopting that plan of government recommended by the charter  commission shall be submitted to the voters of the municipality in the same  manner as other public questions to be voted upon by the voters of a single  municipality.  The charter commission shall frame the question to be placed  upon the ballot as provided in section 1-14 and, if it deems appropriate, an  interpretative statement to accompany such question.
