§ 12.16. SUBMISSION OF CHARTER TO ELECTORS

  The Charter Commission in preparing this Charter finds and declares that it is impracticable to segregate each subject so that the voter may vote "Yes" or "No" and the same, for the reason that the Charter is so constructed that in order to enable it to work and function it is necessary that it should be adopted in its entirety. For these reasons the Charter Commission directs that said Charter be voted upon as a whole, and that it shall be submitted to the qualified voters of the City of Santa Fe at an election to be held for that purpose on the 8th day of August, 1981. If said Charter is approved by a majority of the qualified voters voting at said election, it shall become the Charter of the City of Santa Fe upon the entering upon the records of said City by the governing body of such City an official order declaring the adoption of said Charter.
