Pennsylvania Statutes Title 53 P.S. Municipal and Quasi-Municipal Corporations § 30254. Result of referendum and decree thereon; subsequent petitions

If it shall appear by the vote when counted that a majority in the borough or township proposed to be annexed has voted for annexation and that a majority in the city of the second class A affected thereby has likewise voted for annexation, the court shall enter a decree accordingly. But if the vote in either such borough or township or in such city is unfavorable, the proceedings shall be dismissed, and, in such case, no new petition for the annexation of the same territory shall be submitted to a vote prior to the first day of November of the fourth year thereafter. In case a borough or township applied for annexation prior to the passage of this act and was acted upon unfavorably, in such case, no petition for annexation of the same territory shall be submitted to a vote prior to the first day of November of the fourth year thereafter.
