(a) The board may levy the sales tax only if the question of levying the sales tax is submitted to and approved by a majority of the eligible electors of the district voting at a regular special district election or at a special district election held on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November in an even-numbered year or on the first Tuesday of November in an odd-numbered year in accordance with this article 1, article 13.5 of title 1, and section 20 of article X of the state constitution.
