57143
. In any special election or elections called upon the
question of confirmation of an order for merger or the establishment
of a subsidiary district or for a reorganization, where the results
of the election or elections are to be determined from votes of both
landowner-voters and registered voters, the votes of the
landowner-voters shall be computed and equated with the votes of the
registered voters in the following manner:
(a) First, the per capita assessed value of land for each
registered voter within the county within which the elections are
held shall be determined to the nearest even dollar by dividing the
total assessed value of land within the county, as shown on the last
equalized assessment roll of the county, by the total number of
voters who were registered in the county at the close of
registration, as provided in the Elections Code, next preceding the
date of the election. If any landowner-voter district is located in
more than one county, the per capita assessed value for each county
shall be multiplied by a percentage, to the nearest one-tenth of 1
percent, those percentages being determined by dividing the total
area of the district into the area of those portions of the district
located within that county; the resulting products of those
multiplications shall then be added and the total, to the nearest
even dollar, shall be deemed to be the per capita assessed value for
all the counties.
(b) Second, if any such landowner-voter district does not use the
county assessment roll for the purposes of levying and collecting
district assessments or taxes, the per capita assessed value of land
for each registered voter within the county shall be corrected by
multiplying the per capita assessed value by a correction factor
determined as follows: The total assessed valuation of all lands
within the district, as shown upon the last equalized assessment roll
or book of the district, shall be divided by the corresponding total
assessed valuation of all lands within the district, as shown upon
the last equalized assessment roll of the county, and the quotient,
expressed to the nearest of two decimal places, shall represent the
correction factor. If any landowner-voter district is located in more
than one county, a correction factor shall be determined, in the
manner above provided, for each such county covering all those
portions of the district which are located within the county; the
correction factor for each county shall then be multiplied by a
percentage, to the nearest one-tenth of 1 percent, that percentage
being determined by dividing the total area of the district into the
area of those portions of the district located within that county;
the resulting products of those multiplications shall then be added
and the total, to the nearest of two decimal places, shall be deemed
to be the correction factor for all the counties.
(c) Third, the corrected per capita assessed value, determined to
the nearest even dollar, shall then be adjusted by dividing it by the
number of dollars required for a single vote by a landowner-voter,
as specified in the principal act determining the landowner-voter's
right to vote.
(d) Fourth, the total number of votes cast by landowner-voters for
and against the question shall be divided by the corrected and
adjusted per capita assessed value and the quotients, to the nearest
whole figures, shall be deemed to be the number of votes of
landowner-voters which shall be equated with the votes of the
registered-voters of any city or registered voter district, cast for
and against the question.
