If at an election for exclusion of lands from an irrigation district, a majority of the votes cast are against exclusion, the board shall dismiss the petition and may not proceed in the matter. If a majority of the votes are in favor of excluding the lands from the district, the board shall issue its order setting forth the filing of the petition, the action of the board on the petition, and the result of the election, and shall order the lands excluded from the district. A certified copy of the order must be filed in the department of water resources and the county auditor of each county in which the excluded lands lie and must be filed and recorded in the office of the recorder of each such county.
