SEC. 14. BALLOTS; ONE OR MORE ORDINANCES MAY BE VOTED; PROVISION FOR REPEAL.

The ballots used when voting upon said ordinance shall be in a manner so as to apprise the voters of the nature of the proposed ordinance and contain two propositions so that they may vote either “for” or “against” the propositions indicating their preference on the ordinance. If a majority of the qualified electors voting on said proposed ordinance shall vote in favor thereof, such ordinance shall thereupon become a valid and binding ordinance of the city, and any ordinance proposed by petition, or which shall be adopted by a vote of the people, cannot be repealed or amended except by a vote of the people. Any number of proposed ordinances may be voted upon at the same election, in accordance with the provisions of this section of the Charter, but more than one special election shall not be held in any period of six months. The city council may submit a proposition for the repeal of any such ordinance or for amendments thereto, to be voted upon at any succeeding general city election, and should such proposition so submitted receive a majority of the votes cast thereon at such election, such ordinance shall be repealed or amended accordingly.
