2. The clerk, after setting aside sufficient funds for disbursements required to be made by law shall pay to individual members or heads of families of the tribe the per capita shares of tribal members in such annuity money unless, at a general meeting of the qualified voters of such tribe duly called and held during such year and prior to the distribution of such money, a majority of the qualified voters shall approve the expenditure of all or part of such moneys for one or more tribal projects, in which event the amount or amounts so approved for payment on account of such project or projects shall be paid in accordance with such vote and any balance of such annuity money remaining shall be added to the tribal funds.
