. The commission shall execute a certificate of completion
confirming either the order of a merger or the order for the
establishment of a subsidiary district in the following manner:
(a) Where the question submitted to the voters was only upon
merger or only upon establishment of a subsidiary district, the
commission shall execute a certificate of completion confirming the
order if a majority of the votes cast on the question favored the
order either:
(1) At an election called only within the district.
(2) At each election, where one election was called within the
district and another election was called within the territory of the
city outside the boundaries of the district.
(b) Where both the question of merger and the question of
establishment of a subsidiary district were submitted to the voters
within the district only and both questions were favored by a
majority of the voters, the commission shall order that change of
organization favored by the greater number of voters. Where the
number of votes was the same on both questions, the merger shall be
ordered.
(c) Where both the question of merger and the question of
establishment of a subsidiary district were submitted at an election
called both within the district and at an election within the
territory of the city outside the district boundaries, and both
questions were favored by a majority of the voters in both areas,
that change of organization receiving the greater number of votes in
both elections shall be completed. Where the number of votes was the
same, or where the question of merger received the greater number of
votes in one of the elections, a merger shall be completed.
