The clerk of each town within the District shall furnish to the Clerk of the District, at the expense of each member town, authenticated copies of the checklists of legal voters within said town as the same appears after revision of such check list before this last town meeting, annual or special, preceding the date of the District meeting, which checklist shall control for the purposes of determining the voters eligible to vote at the District meeting. Whenever a matter, including bond issues, is to be determined by ballot or voting machine, the Board of Water Commissioners may designate polling places in each member town. Each member town shall provide at its expense such polling places together with ballot clerks necessary to supervise the ballots in the same manner that elections are supervised in the towns under the appropriate Vermont statutes. (Added 1971, No. 135, § 9.)
