The canvass shall be made in public and by opening the returns and ascertaining the vote of the district for each person voted for and declaring the results of the canvass. No list, tally paper, or certificate returned from any election may be set aside or rejected for want of form if it can be satisfactorily understood.</span></p><p dir="ltr" class="s2067282Normal"><span xml:space="preserve" class="s2067282000001"> </span></p><p dir="ltr" class="s2067282Normal"><span class="s2067282SCL">Source:</span><span xml:space="preserve" class="s2067282SCL-000002"> SDC 1939, § 61.0807; SDCL § </span><a href="https://sdlegislature.gov/Statutes/Codified_Laws/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&amp;Statute=46-12-35"><span class="s2067282SCL-000002">46-12-35</span></a><span class="s2067282SCL-000002">; SL 2011, ch 165, § 342.</span></p></div></body></html><br /><hr><br /><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><meta charset="UTF-8" /><meta http-equiv='content-language' content='en-us'/><title>SDLRC - Codified Law 46A-4 - ORGANIZATION, BOUNDARIES AND DISSOLUTION OF IRRIGATION DISTRICTS</title><meta name="Generator" content="PowerTools for Open XML" /><style>span { white-space: pre-wrap; } p.s2067283Normal { margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; } span.s2067283SENU { font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; } span.s2067283CL { font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; } p.s2067283Normal-000000 { margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; text-indent: 0.50in; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; } span.s2067283DefaultParagraphFont { font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin: 0; padding: 0; } span.s2067283000001 { font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin: 0; padding: 0; } span.s2067283SCL { font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; } span.s2067283SCL-000002 { font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin: 0; padding: 0; } </style></head><body><div><p dir="ltr" class="s2067283Normal"><a href="https://sdlegislature.gov/Statutes/Codified_Laws/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&amp;Statute=46A-4-37"><span class="s2067283SENU">46A-4-37</span></a><span xml:space="preserve" class="s2067283SENU">. </span><span class="s2067283CL">Declaration of election results--Certificate of election.</span></p><p dir="ltr" class="s2067283Normal-000000"><span class="s2067283DefaultParagraphFont">The board of directors shall declare the person having the highest number of votes cast for each vacancy elected.

Failure of any person interested to show cause why the land should not be excluded by filing objections thereto shall be deemed consent to exclusion of the land from the district. Upon conclusion of the hearing, the board may sustain the objections to exclusion of lands and rescind its previous resolution, or may adopt a second resolution excluding the lands or a portion thereof from the district.</span></p><p dir="ltr" class="s2067323Normal"><span xml:space="preserve" class="s2067323000001"> </span></p><p dir="ltr" class="s2067323Normal"><span class="s2067323SCL">Source:</span><span xml:space="preserve" class="s2067323SCL-000002"> SL 1976, ch 277, § 23; SDCL Supp, § 46-12-74.2.</span></p></div></body></html><br /><hr><br /><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><meta charset="UTF-8" /><meta http-equiv='content-language' content='en-us'/><title>SDLRC - Codified Law 46A-4 - ORGANIZATION, BOUNDARIES AND DISSOLUTION OF IRRIGATION DISTRICTS</title><meta name="Generator" content="PowerTools for Open XML" /><style>span { white-space: pre-wrap; } p.s2067324Normal { margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; } span.s2067324SENU { font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; } span.s2067324CL { font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; } p.s2067324Normal-000000 { margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; text-indent: 0.50in; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; } span.s2067324DefaultParagraphFont { font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin: 0; padding: 0; } span.s2067324000001 { font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin: 0; padding: 0; } span.s2067324SCL { font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; } span.s2067324SCL-000002 { font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin: 0; padding: 0; } </style></head><body><div><p dir="ltr" class="s2067324Normal"><a href="https://sdlegislature.gov/Statutes/Codified_Laws/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&amp;Statute=46A-4-78"><span class="s2067324SENU">46A-4-78</span></a><span xml:space="preserve" class="s2067324SENU">. </span><span class="s2067324CL">Motion to reconsider exclusion of unproductive lands--Time--Appeal to circuit court--Contents--Trial--Filing of final resolution.</span></p><p dir="ltr" class="s2067324Normal-000000"><span xml:space="preserve" class="s2067324DefaultParagraphFont">Any person aggrieved by the final action of the board of directors acting pursuant to the provisions of § </span><a href="https://sdlegislature.gov/Statutes/Codified_Laws/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&amp;Statute=46A-4-77"><span class="s2067324DefaultParagraphFont">46A-4-77</span></a><span xml:space="preserve" class="s2067324DefaultParagraphFont"> on a resolution of exclusion may file a written motion for reconsideration within ten days after adoption of the final resolution.
