B. The election provided for in Subsection A of this Section, shall be called by the commission and shall be held only with another parish-wide election.
C. Any costs of the election shall be financed by the commission, to be paid with funds generated from the tax imposed. However, the district judges, through the judicial expense fund, the district attorney, through any funds available to him including those funds provided pursuant to the Criminal Court Fund provided for in R.S. 15:571.11, and the clerk of court through his general fund may defray all or part of the costs of the election.

This tax shall be levied and collected only after the question of its imposition has been submitted to and approved by a majority of the qualified voters of the district voting at a regularly scheduled election to be conducted in accordance with the Louisiana Election Code. This election shall be called by the commission and shall be held only with another parish wide election. Expenses of this election shall be financed in the same manner as provided for in Subsection C of this Section.
