Prior to the issuance of said bonds, the board of county commissioners shall
by resolution set out the amount and purpose for which said bonds are to
be issued and publish said resolution once in the official county newspaper.
Such bonds shall not be issued if within sixty (60) days after the publication
of said notice a petition or petitions shall be filed with the county election
officer signed by at least five percent (5%) of the qualified electors of
each of the commissioner districts of said county protesting the issuance
of such bonds. In determining the sufficiency of such protest or the number
of voters required to sign said protesting petition or petitions, the total
vote cast in such commissioner districts for secretary of state at the last
general election shall be used as a basis. In the event that such petitions
are filed, it shall be the duty of the board of county commissioners to
submit the question of the issuance of such bonds to the qualified electors
of such county at a special election called for such purpose or at the next
general election. Such election shall be called and held in the manner provided
by the general bond law.
