The ballots to be used at the election shall have printed thereon, in addition to the other matters required by law, separate propositions as to each class of public utilities as to which the municipal corporation may retain its powers of control and as to which it is desired to vote.

If a voter marks the voting target next to the printed word “Yes,” the voter’s vote shall be counted in favor of surrendering of the powers of control of the municipal corporation. If the voter marks the voting target next to the printed word “No,” the voter’s vote shall be counted against the surrendering of those powers.
