1. After the Commission has made and recorded a determination that there is need, in the interest of the public health, safety and welfare, for the organization of a district in a particular territory and has determined the township or townships to be included, the Commission shall consider the question whether the operation of a district within such territory with the powers conferred upon conservation districts in this chapter is administratively practicable and feasible.

2. To assist the Commission in the determination of such administrative practicability and feasibility, the Commission shall, within a reasonable time after entry of the finding that there is need for the organization of the proposed district and the determination of its territory, hold a referendum within the proposed district upon the proposition of the creation of the district, and shall cause due notice of such referendum to be given.

3. The question shall be submitted by ballots upon which the words “For creation of a conservation district consisting of the township (or townships) of ........................ in the county (or counties) of ........................” and “Against creation of a conservation district consisting of the township (or townships) of ........................ in the county (or counties) of ........................” shall be printed, with a square before each proposition and a direction to insert an X mark in the square before one or the other of the propositions, as the voter may favor or oppose creation of such district.

4. All persons determined by the county clerk or clerks to be registered voters residing within the boundaries of the proposed conservation district shall be eligible to vote in such referendum.
