138. That any five (5) legal voters of Carroll County in which an
election shall have been held as provided for in this Act may, within ten
(10) days after the canvass of the returns of such election and upon filing
a bond for costs in a penalty to be fixed by the presiding judge, and with
a surety or sureties to be approved by him, contest the validity of such
election by filing a verified petition in the Circuit Court of Carroll County
setting forth the grounds for the contest. Upon the filing of such petition
a summons shall forthwith issue from such court, addressed to the Super-
visors of Elections with whom a petition for such election was filed, noti-
fying such Supervisors of Elections of the filing of such petition and
directing them to appear in such court on behalf of said county at the
time named in the summons, which time shall be not less than five (5) nor
more than fifteen (15) days after the filing of such petition. The pro-
cedure in such cases shall be the same as that provided by law for con-
testing an election to a public office, so far as the same is applicable. The
said court shall have final jurisdiction to hear and determine the merits of
such cases. Any legal voter in Carroll County may be permitted by the
court at its discretion to appear in person or by attorney in any such
contested election case in defense of the validity of such election.
