All persons residing in such territory proposed to be annexed, or residing outside of the territory proposed to be annexed but residing on a parcel of land where a portion of such parcel is within such territory proposed to be annexed, and qualified to vote for officers of the city, town or village, as the case may be, in which such territory is situated shall be entitled to vote. The proposition to be voted upon shall state "Shall the territory generally described below be annexed to the .......... (name of local government or governments)?" Below such question the territory proposed to be annexed shall be briefly described. Except as otherwise provided herein, such election shall be conducted in the manner provided by law for the conduct of special elections in the city, town or village, as the case may be, in which such territory is situated.

2. If such proposition is approved by a majority of the qualified persons voting thereon, the petition or joint resolution, together with a certificate of election which shall set forth or have annexed thereto a description of the territory to be annexed, shall, within twenty days after such election be filed by the governing board or boards of the city, town or village, as the case may be, in the office of the clerk of such local government or governments and in the office of the clerk or clerks of the local government or governments to which such territory is to be annexed.
