§ 781. Canvassing of vote; moratorium on further referendum. 1. In any
referendum held pursuant to this title, the ballots cast shall be
counted, returns made and canvassed and results certified in the same
manner as other municipal elections or referendums for the local
government entity affected by the proposed dissolution.

2. Dissolution shall not take effect unless a majority of the electors
voting in the local government entity in which the referendum is held
vote in favor of dissolution. If such a majority vote does not result,
the referendum shall fail and dissolution shall not take effect.

3. If dissolution is approved by a majority of the electors voting in
the local government entity in which the referendum is held,
certificates of such result immediately shall be filed with the
secretary of state and with the clerks of the local government entity or
entities and county in which is situated any part of the entity to be
dissolved.

4. If the referendum shall fail, the dissolution process specified by
this title shall not be initiated for the local government entity within
four years of the date of such referendum. This subdivision, however,
does not apply to a permissive referendum conducted pursuant to section
seven hundred eighty-five of this title.
