the holder of title to land and the area of that parcel. The
preliminary election roll shall assign each voter one of the
following:

from being within the boundaries of the district, or from receiving
services from the district, or both. The engineer shall consider,

parcel, whether the parcel is developed or undeveloped, and the
nature of the district's services provided to or available to the
parcel.

preliminary election roll pursuant to Section 39057, indicating the
