Section 1. Section 468.504, Code 2001, is amended to read as follows:
468.504 ELECTION DISTRICTS.
When a petition has been filed for the election of trustees to manage a district
containing three
twenty thousand acres or more, the board, or, if the district extends into more than
one county, the boards of such
the counties by joint action, shall, before the election, divide
the district into three election districts for the purpose of securing a proper distribution of
trustees in such
the district, and
such
the division shall be so made that each election district will
have substantially equal voting power and acreage, as nearly as may be. After
such
the division is made there shall be elected one trustee for each of
said
the election districts, but at
such
the election all the qualified voters for the entire district shall be entitled to vote for each trustee.
The division here provided for shall be for the purposes only of a proper distribution of
trustees in the district and shall not otherwise affect
said
the district or its management and control.
