In case of the inclusion of the land within any district by proceedings under this act [73-8-1 to 73-8-60 NMSA 1978], the board of directors shall, at least thirty days prior to the next succeeding general election, make an order redividing such district into divisions as nearly equal in size as may be practicable, being in number as in this act hereinbefore provided, and which shall be numbered consecutively, and one director shall thereafter be elected from each such division, in the manner by this act hereinbefore specified.
For the purposes of election the board of directors shall establish a convenient number of election precincts in said district, and define the boundaries thereof, which precincts may change from time to time as the board may deem necessary.
