1998 Minnesota Statutes

     370.03 Proclamation; only one proposition. 

    If each petition is signed by the requisite number of 
 persons who are voters in each of the affected counties, the 
 secretary of state shall notify the governor of the filing.  The 
 affidavits of the persons obtaining the signatures shall be 
 prima facie evidence that each petition is signed by persons who 
 are voters in each of the affected counties.  The governor shall 
 issue a proclamation, at least 60 days before the election, 
 stating that the petitions have been filed, and the substance of 
 the petitions, and directing that the question of change of 
 boundaries, or the establishment of a new county, as the case 
 may be, be submitted to the voters of the affected counties at 
 the election.  No more than one proposition may be submitted at 
 the same election, except for mutual exchange of territory 
 between counties.
