§ 781. Canvassing of vote; moratorium on further referendum. 1. In any referendum held pursuant to this title, the ballots cast shall be counted, returns made and canvassed and results certified in the same manner as other municipal elections or referendums for the local government entity affected by the proposed dissolution.
2. Dissolution shall not take effect unless a majority of the electors voting in the local government entity in which the referendum is held vote in favor of dissolution. If such a majority vote does not result, the referendum shall fail and dissolution shall not take effect.
3. If dissolution is approved by a majority of the electors voting in the local government entity in which the referendum is held, certificates of such result immediately shall be filed with the secretary of state and with the clerks of the local government entity or entities and county in which is situated any part of the entity to be dissolved.
4. If the referendum shall fail, the dissolution process specified by this title shall not be initiated for the local government entity within four years of the date of such referendum. This subdivision, however, does not apply to a permissive referendum conducted pursuant to section seven hundred eighty-five of this title.
