Public Utilities Code·California

AI SummaryVerified

Key Takeaways

•If most people vote 'yes' on the annexation question, it passes.
•The rules and details in the ordinance become official if the vote passes.
•The vote must be counted carefully to see if 'yes' votes are more than half.

Example

A small town votes on whether to join a nearby big city.

If more than half of the voters say 'yes' to joining the big city, then the town officially becomes part of that city, and all the rules about how it will work are now in place.
