In plain language
Mechanics, borrowed rather than reinvented. Putting the adoption question to voters follows Title 19 of the Revised Statutes, which governs public questions generally, and where the vote happens at a school district election it follows Title 18A instead. Both are qualified with "as nearly as possible", because neither was written with this particular question in mind.
