Description
This is a mandamus proceeding filed in this court by the School District of the City of Jefferson, Cole County, Missouri,
wherein it seeks to compel the State Auditor to register a bond which is one of a number of bonds authorized by the voters
of the school district at an election held on June 27, 1961. In the return filed by the State Auditor, all of the material
allegations of the petition were admitted except the allegation that the bonds were authorized by a two-thirds majority of
the electors voting at said election. It is admitted that at the election 5,773 votes were cast in favor of the bond issue
and 2,863 against. Of the 5,773 favorable votes, 596 represented absentee ballots and of the 2,863 negative votes, 44 were
absentee ballots. The State Auditor takes the position that the absentee ballot law does not authorize voting by absentee
ballots in school elections held on the question of voting bonds for construction of school buildings. If the State Auditor
is correct in his contentions, then obviously the voters did not approve the issue of bonds by a two-thirds majority. On the
other hand, if the absentee ballots are legal, the bond issue received approval by a two-thirds vote. The cause was submitted to this court on briefs filed by the Relator School District, by the Attorney General representing
the State Auditor, and by interested parties as Amici Curiae.
