. At any time prior to the completion of the protest hearing
by the commission and the adoption of a resolution ordering a
reorganization that includes an incorporation and the establishment
of a subsidiary district or a merger, a petition may be filed with
the executive officer referring, by date of adoption, to the
commission's resolution making determinations and requesting that a
separate election be called, held, and conducted only within that
district on the establishment of the subsidiary district or the
merger. That election shall be conducted at the same time as the

immediately examined and certified by the executive officer by the
same method and in the same manner as provided in Sections 56707 to
56711, inclusive, for the examination of petitions by the executive
officer. The commission shall forward the proposal to the principal
county and the principal county shall call, hold, and conduct any
election upon the question of a merger or the establishment of a
subsidiary district only within the district to be merged or
established as a subsidiary district, if the executive officer
certifies that any petition so filed was signed by either of the
following:
(a) In the case of a registered voter district, by not less than
10 percent of the registered voters of the district.
(b) In the case of a landowner-voter district, by not less than 10
percent of the number of landowner-voters within the district who
also own not less than 10 percent of the assessed value of land
within the district.
