Book excerpt: When the legislature has named a day on which an election is to be held, or places bounds within which it must be held, a proclamation naming a day other than that fixed by the statutes is void and the election confers nothing. K.S.A. 19-204, as amended by L. 1992, ch. 38, section 4 provides that an election regarding a change in the number of county commissioners is to be conducted on the day of the general election, following not less than 60 days the presentation of the petition. Because November 3, 1992, falls within that 60-day period, an election regarding a change in the number of county commissioners for Chase county may not be called for November 3, 1992, but rather, must be called for the date of the general election to be conducted in November, 1994.
