The qualifications for the voter are:

1. 18 years of age or older.

2. an owner or a vendee under contract of purchase of land situated within the District and subject to the charges or assessments of the District.

These are the same qualifications required to sign a petition supporting a candidate.

Where land is held in multiple ownership, such as husband and wife, only one party may vote.

In the case of a Corporation, Company, or Trust, only one vote shall be allowed in behalf of all the owners under the multiple ownership. The vote may be cast by any one of the multiple owners who holds an authorization in writing from the other owners (Voter Authorization Form).

If an elector is an owner in two or more divisions of residence and resides in one of them, the elector shall vote in the division of residence, but if an elector is a nonresident of the District, the elector may choose to vote in any one division in which the elector is an owner. When a nonresident landowner chooses to vote in any one division, the landowner shall file a notice of choice of voting division with the Secretary of the Board of the District. A nonresident landowner's choice to vote in a certain division is permanent and remains permanent until the nonresident landowner's ownership status changes in any way (Nonresident Election to Vote in Division Form).

If you are required to submit either of these forms, and do not already have one on file in this office, please call this office as soon as possible.

State law provides for the following number of votes:

One vote for up to 40 acres;

Two votes for more than 40 acres and up to 160 acres; and

Three votes for more than 160 acres.

A person wishing to run for director should be able to attend as many of the monthly meetings as possible. The Board generally meets the second Tuesday of each month at 10:00 A.M. at the District office.
