(a) Casting a vote against the proposed incorporation does not prevent the voter from voting for a candidate for a municipal office. (b) The county board of elections shall: (1) tally the votes cast for candidates to a municipal office; and (2) certify the results to the county commissioners or county council. (c) If less than a majority of those who voted on the question voted in favor of incorporation under the proposed municipal charter, the votes cast for candidates for a municipal office are void.
