If a municipality submits a question to the electors at the next general election pursuant to § 9-20-11, the municipality shall certify the ballot language to the county auditor by the first Tuesday in August of the year of the general election. However, the county auditor may extend the certification deadline for the municipality, if the county auditor determines that the extension will not prevent absentee ballots from being available by the date to begin absentee voting.
