15alternative valid petitions are filed within 14 days after the last day that an original
16petition may be filed, the question relating to the number of supervisors shall appear
17separately. The first question shall be: "Shall the size of the county board of
18supervisors of .... County be decreased from its current membership of .... members?".
19Any subsequent question shall be: "If so, shall the size of the board be decreased to
20.... members?". Each elector may vote in the affirmative or negative on the first
21question and may then vote in the affirmative on one of the remaining questions. If
22the first question is not approved by a majority of the electors voting on the question,
23any subsequent question is of no effect. If the question is approved by a majority of
