§8-2-6. Same -- Qualified electors; form of ballot or ballot label; election officials; certification; canvass; declaration of results; recount.
On the date named in such notice for the taking of the vote, each qualified elector of the territory sought to be incorporated shall have the right to cast his vote for or against such incorporation at the precinct in which he resides, by depositing a ballot in a ballot box, or by use of a voting machine, to be provided by the county court for that purpose. Each ballot, or ballot label where voting machines are used, shall be without party designation and shall have written or printed thereon the following words:

/ / For Incorporation

/ / Against Incorporation

The ballot or ballot label shall be a separate, special ballot or ballot label.

Such election shall be held and conducted under the supervision of the commissioners and clerks of election appointed by the county court as aforesaid and shall be conducted as nearly as may be in accordance with the laws of this state governing general elections. The results of such election shall be certified as in general elections, and the returns shall be canvassed and the results declared by the county court. In the event any commissioner or clerk designated to serve in said election shall fail or refuse to serve, such vacancy may be filled in like manner as vacancies in such positions are filled in general elections under the laws of this state governing general elections. A recount may be had, as in general elections, upon the party or parties desiring such recount providing adequate assurance to the county court that he or they will pay all costs of such recount.
