The engineer shall prepare the preliminary election roll by division unless all district elections are at large. (b) The preliminary election roll shall include each parcel of land listed on the most recent county assessment roll, any federal and state land, and any other unvalued lands within the district. For each parcel, the preliminary election roll shall list the name of the holder of title to land and the area of that parcel. The preliminary election roll shall assign each voter one of the following: (1) One vote for each acre of land owned by that voter within the district. If the voter owns less than one acre, the voter shall be entitled to one vote. Any fraction of an acre shall be rounded to the next full acre. (2) A number of votes based on the benefits derived by each parcel from being within the boundaries of the district, or from receiving services from the district, or both. The engineer shall consider, among other factors, the nature of the use or allowed uses of the parcel, whether the parcel is developed or undeveloped, and the nature of the district’s services provided to or available to the parcel.
