If the board finds that the election results favor the proposition, the board may impose taxes as authorized by the proposition. If the board finds that the election results do not favor the proposition, another election on the question of increasing the district’s maximum tax rate may not be held before the first anniversary of the date of the most recent election at which voters disapproved the proposition.
