(c) The question on the ballot shall read as follows: “Do you favor changing the Gadsden City Board of Education from an appointed to an elected board? “Yes (___) No (____).”

(d) If a majority of the qualified electors of the municipality voting in the authorizing referendum vote against an elected city board of education, the current board shall continue to operate as provided by law and the remaining portions of this act shall have no further effect.

(e) The official charged with conducting municipal elections shall conduct this election.

Thereafter, all members of the board shall be elected to serve terms of four years.

Section 6. (a) Upon the assumption of office of the initially elected members of the board of education, the Gadsden City Board of Education as provided in this act shall be constituted and the terms, powers, duties, responsibilities, and emoluments of office of the prior members of the board of education shall end.
