68.54.110 - Merger and transfer of part of one district to adjacent district -- When election dispensed with. - Washington Statutes

Merger and transfer of part of one district to adjacent district — When election dispensed with.

If three-fifths of all the qualified electors in the area to be merged sign a petition to merge the districts, no election on the question of the merger is necessary, in which case the auditor shall return the petition, together with his certificate of sufficiency attached thereto, to the boards of the merging districts. Thereupon the boards of the respective districts shall adopt their concurrent resolutions of transfer in the same manner and to the same effect as if the same had been authorized by an election.
