Colorado Revised Statutes Title 37. Water and Irrigation § 37-41-105. Canvass of votes--proclamation

(1) The board of county commissioners shall meet on the second Monday next succeeding such election and proceed to canvass the votes cast thereat. If, upon such canvass, it appears that at least a majority of said legal electors in said district have voted “Irrigation District -- Yes”, the said board, by an order entered on its minutes, shall declare such territory duly organized as an irrigation district under the name and style theretofore designated and shall declare the persons receiving, respectively, the highest number of votes for such several offices to be duly elected to such office. Said board shall cause a copy of such order, including a plat of said district, duly certified by the clerk of the board of county commissioners, to be immediately filed for record in the office of the county clerk and recorder of each county in which any portion of such lands are situated, and no board of county commissioners of any county, including any portion of such district, after the date of organization of such district, shall allow another district to be formed including any of the lands of such district without the consent of the board of directors thereof.

(2) From and after the date of such filing, the organization of such district shall be complete, and the officers thereof shall immediately enter upon the duties of their respective offices, upon qualifying in accordance with law, and shall hold such offices, respectively, until their successors are elected and qualified. For the purpose of the election, the board of county commissioners shall establish a convenient number of election precincts and polling places in said proposed district and define the boundaries thereof, which said precincts may thereafter be changed by the board of directors of such districts, who shall also appoint the judges of election for each such precinct, one of whom shall act as clerk of election.
