The governing boards calling the election shall consolidate the election and submit to the electors of the respective districts on the same day the question of whether a district retirement plan shall be established in the districts. Within the territory affected by the order of consolidation, the election precinct polling places and voting booths shall, in every case, be the same. There shall be only one set of election officers in each precinct. The propositions to be voted upon within the respective districts may be set forth on one ticket or ballot. All proceedings had in the premises shall be recorded in one set of election papers, and the election shall be held in all respects as though there were only one election.
