The registered voters of a county included in

disconnection be submitted to the electors
of the county, the State Board of Elections
must certify the question to the proper election authority, which must submit
the
question at a regular election held at least 78 days after the petition is
filed in accordance
with the Election Code.
The question must be submitted in substantially the following form:

The votes must be recorded as "Yes" or "No".
If a majority of the electors voting on the question vote in the
affirmative, the county or portion of the county that is within the district
shall be
