SDCL § 46A-3A-13: Separate districts for election--Vote required.

If a municipality is included within the boundaries of a proposed water development district, the municipality constitutes a separate election district. The portion of any county that is wholly or partially included within the boundaries of a proposed water development district, and which is outside the corporate limits of a municipality, constitutes a separate election district.

An election district may not become part of a water development district unless at least sixty percent of the votes cast in the election are favorable.
