Section 18-1806. Consolidation of villages

Two or more adjoining villages
  may be consolidated by adopting a proposition therefor at any  election,
  which  may  be  held  in  each  of  such villages on the same day, or on
  different days, not, however, more than twenty days apart, but  no  such
  election shall be held after the last day of January and before the date
  of  the  annual  election.  At  least  fifteen  days before such special
  election or if such special election is held on different days, then  at

  trustees of such village shall meet in joint session  and  determine  on
  the  name  for  the  consolidated  village,  and  shall forthwith file a
  certificate specifying such name in the office  of  the  clerk  of  each
  village.  The  ballots  to  be  used  at such election may be written or
  printed and shall contain either the words "for the consolidation of the
  village of ..................(naming it) with the village (or  villages)
  of  ............(naming  it  or  them)  into  one village by the name of
  ............(name fixed by trustees)" or "against the  consolidation  of
  the village of ............(naming it) with the village (or villages) of
