85-8-102. Amendment and circulation of petition -- court consideration. No petition having as many signers as are required by 85-8-101 may be declared void, but the court may at any time permit the petition to be amended in form and substance to conform to the facts, if the facts justify the organization of a drainage district. Several similar petitions for the organization of the same district may be circulated and, when filed, together shall be regarded as one petition having as many signers as there are separate signers on the several filed petitions who own lands within the proposed drainage district. All petitions for the organization of the district filed prior to the hearing on the petition shall be considered by the court the same as if filed with the first petitions placed on file, and the signatures thereon shall be counted in determining whether sufficient landowners have signed the petition.
