Any proposed charter may contain a provision that in the event of an unfavorable vote by any city, village or township or part of such a political subdivision, that said charter shall be deemed effective as to all other cities, villages or townships or parts of such political subdivision voting favorably thereon and that any officers elected at said election shall be valid.
