The voters shall indicate by a cross or check mark placed against the word "Yes" or "No" their opinion of the same.

The results must be declared by the municipal officers of the Town of Northport and due certificate of the results filed by the clerk with the Secretary of State.

This Act takes effect for all purposes immediately upon its approval by a majority of the eligible voters of the Northport Village Corporation at its annual meeting and by a majority of the legal voters voting at the election. Failure to achieve the necessary approval in any referendum does not prohibit subsequent referenda consistent with this section, provided the referenda are held prior to January 1, 2005.
