A. The question on the ballot of creating a debt by issuing general obligation bonds shall state the purpose or purposes for which the bonds are to be issued and the amount of the bond issue. Two or more separate questions may be submitted to the voters at a bond election, in which case, the vote on each question shall be separately counted, canvassed and certified.
B. Bond election ballots shall contain a place for a vote "For the school district bonds" and "Against the school district bonds" for each bond issue.
C. If paper ballots are used at a bond election, all questions to be voted on at the bond election shall be listed on one ballot.
History: 1953 Comp., § 77-15-5, enacted by Laws 1967, ch. 16, § 232.
Use of the language "for school purposes," with no other qualification, on a school bond issue was too broad, because such language did not sufficiently apprise the voter of the exact purpose for which the election was held. Board of Educ. v. Hartley, 1964-NMSC-204, 74 N.M. 469, 394 P.2d 985 (decided under prior law).
